French 25x193 hotchkiss (not 25x194R) id

[orpheus72]

I've bought a couple of French Hotchkiss cases for my US friend, and when they arrived, they turned out to be unrimmed 25x193 (instead of the 25x194R we tought they were at first sight)

I've looked all over, but can't find any specific info on this 1934 dated case (to determine what kind of gun it used, and what projectile it should have)

Thanks

Hello,

Your case seems to be different (rimmeless) as french case :

Pretty sure I have one of these in my collection?

It is mentioned in the book by Wim de Hek as French experimental. I have this case as well, relatively hard to find. Nice buy!
