Hi,

this is abbreviatet und is called: ZÜNDHÜTCHEN- UND PATRONENFABRIK SCHÖNEBECK AN DER ELBE.
That means: PERCUSSION CAPS AND CARTRIDGE FACTORY
SCHOENEBECK ON THE RIVER ELBE
The "4" is the caliber. Cal.4 = 26,5mm

best regards
Horst

I am a bit on the late side but can anyone tell me a time period for the production and/ or use of the above flare shell?

Thank you.

Also a bit late and long overdue Thank You to Horst for his kind assistance.
May your collection grow and prosper.
