A spot of "show 'n' tell"... well show anyway!

I've had this for a while now was given it and I haven't managed to figure out what it is, at first i thought some sort of pom pom shell but I guess WW1 by the date but German? French? It's 37mm. done a spot of googling (which is how i wound up here!). Any suggestions?

37mm

French for the M85 37mm gun, made in January 1918. Unfortunately I cannot make out the manufacturing location beyond "Parc de...?".
