  1. Most likely a 285kg shell, as the 305mm ones came in 280-380kg range.

    Pictured:

    1) Serbian police measuring the shell prior to demining

    2) A Škoda 305mm siege mortar at the Belgrade fortress which would have fired the round

    3) Highlighted is the Assembly building (under construction) in 1914.
