ciao
this is the right shell........
long range shell for 149/35 mod 32-38.

these shells were all modified. in the rear face there is the year and the firm who transform the shell.
mine shell was built in 1933 (2nd pic) (base marking), loaded in 1934 ( body stencilling pic 3 and 5) and transformed by A.S.B. in 1941 (pic 4)
