Any idea what cartridge this is and what gun it is fired from?
A view of the cartridge's base and its headstamps.
A profile view of the cartridge before cleaning.
My research suggested it's for a pre-WWI-era French 100 mm Modèle 1891, Modèle 1892 or Modèle 1893 naval gun.
Please note that I have next to no data on French guns, even less on their naval guns.
It comes from a person whose wife’s Great Grandfather commanded HMS Scourge, a ship that served in the Gallipoli campaign.
