This morning at a car boot sale I bought a French 75mm Mle. 1931 case. I don't usually buy non-British cases, however I bought this as I'd never seen one before. It appears to be a shortened Mle. 1897 style case.
The case measures 75 x 245R (Rim 87mm)
The headstamp is:
75 . Mle 1931
ARS 13.38.P
What do the "13" and "P" in the headstamp mean?
Can anyone give me any more information about this gun? How was the gun intended to be used? Was it a mobile artillery piece, mounted in a fortress etc.?
Thanks for any info.
