Anyone here have any info on early hotchkiss fixed ammunition. Trying to work on identifying this 75mm shell.

It looks like a U.S. early 3 inch turn of the century projo, or before. I have 2 of them.

This IS the place to go to ask questions like these.

Both of mine are missing fuzes. I don't have info on the fuze design.
 
Precise measurements of your projectile such as length, diameter at the base, diameter of the fuze well opening, length of the brass driving band may help people to provide information.
