Who knows this projectile, as far as I can derive from the drawing the diameter is appr. 10cm.
What country, what era and what gun was it used in.
Thanks in advance, regards

It should be a swedish 8,7 cm shrapnel shell (Granatkartesch). Era around the 1890's. It's a mixture of german Krupp and french De Bange design. Very nice!

Also it could be a 8,4 cm:


Length of the 8,4 cm is 196 mm but your's seems to be longer that's why I think it's a 8,7 cm. But I can be wrong because of the perspective.
