Hello
Have you information for this 47mm shell explo.
His lenght is 193mm with hole on base for tracer type Semple.
I think for Navy or Flak, no for anti-tank Mle 34.
Case lenght 380 mm ?
Thanks to all.

The type was used in the RC length short casing in aircraft cannon, or is this projectile longer than the ww1 D shell in 47mm. The dummy nose does suggest an excercise type. There is a thread or two showing these on the site.
Thanks Gordon
Which lenght for this case used in aircraft cannon ?
The shell seem too longer (193mm) for a case of 130mm.
This fuse is the same for 37mm Mle D 1918.
best regards

WW1 French 47mm round. The headstamp is; 47.R. MA.1.1.6-16 r in a circle , flaming bomb. On the shell, between the driving bands are the marks; D. S in a C (or a circle) flaming bomb. Above the top driving band are the marks; 362.Sp.12.17.
Details from another post. The case is the same as the Hotchkiss 47mm RC gun case in size, I don't have measurements.
