I have been offered this item for sale, but it has no markings. May I request our member's help in its identification. My guess is that it is French due to the press in style primer. Neck diameter is approx. 75-80mm. Height is 580mm. Thank you.
The closest in my Ammo Data Tables seems to be the French post-WW2 AFV case for the AMX-13 light tank, but the rim diameter might help. See: http://quarryhs.co.uk/ammotable8.htm
I checked an M26 case, and it indeed does have a push in primer. It looks like you might have one of the very first cases they swaged, before they started to bore and thread them for a screw-in primer. That's why someone obliterated the markings that said 76mm, with a ball peen hammer.
