This is a tin for the German « Sprengpatronen Z. » demolition charge. The charges designated as « Spr.Patr. Z » were used for demolition of guns and howitzers. The model number is named after the diameter of the explosive charge. Each charge had a range of gun models it could be used for. A field gun at the front would normally have a « SprPatr.Z » issued, so the gun could be damaged beyond use by the gun crew in case they had to abandon it. This tin is in excellent condition.
 Dimensions: 11x3cm.
