75mm French

[Chris]

Here some photo's of what I think is a 75mm French Model 1900 N projectile.

I hope someone can verify that.

Another question is: does anybody no what GMC means on the base of the case (Is it the makers marking?) and the other stampings?
I no what 75 DEC means.

Hi Chris

GMC = Globe Manufacturing., Co , USA.

Those fieldgun cases are also made in the USA.
This one is used by the navy.

General Motors did make shell casings but i'm not able to varify if they made them that early. Why not, we had juke box companies producing guns..Dano

The projectile was found at sea and I think already destroyed.
