It is a French

practice shot for the 25mm Anti Tank gun. Others should have more information about it.

As said, it is french ; WW2 ; for the Hotchkiss 25mm anti-tank gun.

Your shell is not common.
These shells exist as your : all bronze or brass ...
it's possible to find them in steel (with copper driving bands)

you'll find some informations here:
