1.65" three piece case

[Burney Davis]

Pictures below are of a case I have recently acquired. Dimensions are 42 x 153 x 51mm. These dimensions match the US 1.65" mountain gun cases, but I have never seen one of those cases marked Hotchkiss with a riveted base. My questions are, is this for the same gun, what date would it be from and what projectile would it have taken? TIA.

Indeed a very nice Hotchkiss made export case for the U.S. Look for a Hotchkiss Paris
projectile for it. Though they were reused.
