Hi,

I've got this one in my Collection and i don't have clue?
what is it??

The headstamp says:

75MM M5A1 Type
Lot TBC-3 205B.CO.1944

The total length is 264mm
the opening in the top is 41mm

The 75mm M5 case is for the 75mm Howitzer. With the plug in the primer it looks like some kind of drill round for training.

They made a hot water bottle of this case,
