Another 75 mm case, 75 x 278 x 90R mm (difference case to the other one?). Made by Schneider and dated 1907 but for which country? Has a German primer. Again any help with ID and projectile would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Darrel, I think the case would have been made for Bulgaria, I have similar marked cases with Cyrillic script and made by Schneider. My understanding is Bulgaria bought guns and ammunition from both Krupp and Schneider so having a German style primer is no surprise.
Thanks again Steve. Again, any clue as to the projectile?

I thought to post a couple of pictures of what I think are 2 Bulgarian WW1 cases, both 75x121. One is made by Friedrich Krupp, marked on the primer and on the case itself in Cyrillic script. The other word is Karlsruhe in Cyrillic, made in 1916. The Schneider made case, probably 1908 follows the same marking pattern as yours. The word after the C C is probably ordnance with mountain after the 75. Therefore I would offer the words on your case could indicate the type of gun, I would translate as Polsko in Latin script and then ordnance. Very happy to be corrected as I am no expert!
