Unusual Leather pack Saddle Artillery boxes

[Gspragge]

These are on the 1st Dib's site so are priced beyond any
kind of reality. But they are interesting anyways.
They are not Hotchkiss or Nordenfelt as far as I can tell.
[FONT=&quot]Measurements of the cases: D 28cm x W 55cm x H 36cm (11" x 21.7" x 14.2")
I have asked for the depth and diameter of the holes in the wood inserts.
The saddle is not original to them.[/FONT]

Dimensions of the wood inserts, should help in figuring out
what these were for in a general way.
Depth of the wooden inserts: 15,5 cm (5,31 Inch) Diameter of the holes: 6,5cm (2,56 Inch)"

There is a lack of any secure method of holding these closed, I think when strapped onto
or into the original carrier these were held shut by the carrier straps etc. When removed for
use there was no need, just a snug fit would be needed.

The Schnieder 65mm Mountain gun comes to mind, or similar ?

Would a French round fit in the case ? it would depend on the total length of the round.

Could it be Swiss? Their mountain artillery used mules and this may well fit one rather than a horse?

Anything is possible, here is what seems to be a marking , though it's
too faint to be of much use.
