Hi! I’ve been searching through my bookmarked websites for information on certain calibers, but I’m coming up empty... Can anyone point me in the right direction? AI makes me laugh I ask it once and it tells me that, based on the primer, it’s of French manufacture (French Model 1929 artillery primer, made at the Ouvriers-Vauban workshops), but when I ask a new chat session, it tells me it’s Spanish HOV (HOV stands for Hontoria - Oviedo - Villalba) the workshops and factories of the Spanish artillery ordnance depots). It has a height of 100 mm, and the diameter in the least damaged area where a consistent curve is visible measures 155 mm or 156–157 mm.

Schneider 155 mm C Mle. 1917??
 
Thx Hoeksel! So much for trusting AI... I'll send you the measurements. You know, the AI also mentioned something about Italy, but I just took it as a joke... maybe it's material that was sent over for the Spanish Civil War...
