The Belgian army had a 'Canon de 149 mm long Mle. 1889 Krupp/FRC'. It fired a specific shrapnel shell M.89. Does anyone have information about this projectile and its fuse?
 
15cm Steel shrapnel shell (same design of 12 cm) for for Gun Mle 1886 and 1890, Howitzer Mle 1887 and 1909 .
Fuze time (1 to 20 seconds and 20 half seconds added) and Fuze time and direct action S/35
 
Hello,
Here list of Belgian Artillery
As you know they had different caliber.
149mm is just the Krupp mod 1909

Here some belgian shells. It's unclear for me, if they are for 149 krupp mod 1909 or 150 Schneider mod 1912. For sure aren't 155mm.
