They are indeed French "Flak" projectiles. They are rare in good quality, this quality is seen often in Belgium on fairs. I think a big pile of them was found a few years ago. Still a nice item!
I have seen this projectile in other cases. Does anyone know if it was used in the French naval 37x277R M1925+gun? And what colour should be projectile be?
It was issued in the 37x95 case size for the Aircraft Cannon in the Spad and is listed for the Revolving (Hotchkiss- seems kind of long for the feed to me, the reference is regarding "Ariel" use for or against I'm not sure, will enquire ?) Cannon and was also loaded into the 37x202 case as used in aircraft etc. (1918 issue listings) The book on the subject, volume two is in the works that should show this. Images show the family relations, I think this is my latest version of this.
The reference does indicate use as Anti Aircraft, while under the Revolving Cannon heading it may more likely refer to the rapid fire single shot cannon of the same caliber and year.
