138 mm casing

[Doug]

Hi

I am trying to identify a casing - no paint or stencil markings unfortunately - or primer.

The mouth is 138.5 mm and the length is 820 mm.

The base has stamping/engraving of "Ast M" "S14".

I have been thinking along the lines of the French 138-mm guns?

Thanks

Doug

Possible Bofors case

Looks like a "Bofors" case with that heavy build and primer pocket.
