Can anyone identify origin of this schrapnell shell? Unforetunately I have no exact dimensions but diameter is 80-100 mm and length about 300mm.

Received additional information. Shell body is 74,2mm diameter and 225mm long. Thus it is for a 75mm gun. The shell was found in Finland and we had in use 75mm guns from Sweden, Germany, Japan, France, USA, UK.
