Hello,

I thint it's a French 220mm model 1909 HE shell (head adapters are missing)

Regards
 
A fellow collector paid me a visit and thinks it's a 220L mle 1917 Schneider, also used as german beute, 22 cm k 532 (f). Could he be right? Thanks
 
the 220L (long) used shells with two driving bands. So Minenaz's ID fits very well!
