Hello,

I can't find the nomenclature in my doc. Maybe improved navy mod 1912.
Similar shell : navy model 1912/21.
I could be interesting to see the top (damaged cap).

Nice picture of a ww1 factory of 340mmm model 1912 shells :

Hello Jean-Paul,
As I wrote, I think it's a variant of mod 12 and not the original you show.
I saw a mod 12 with his penetration cap and the head is different from the shell on pictures.
Please look at the ww1 factory photo, you can well see shape of real model 12.
