Hello.
Your case is french for the " Canon de 75 modèle 1897 ". At 12 o'clock, you can read 75 DE C : 75 DE Campagne = Field gun.
At 6 o'clock Sc-Bx ( Schneider à Bordeaux) the manufacturer of the case, then 460L = 460 ième lot de, then the two last digits of the year of manufacture but I can't read them and at least the metal supplier here USA means that the brass comes from USA.
I show a case identical to yours but more readable.
Regards.
