Hi all

Hi their,
Yes it's a French Gabba fuzed 1 pounder light 37x 94 cased,
yours is an early model as has both drive bands of broken type, the later ones have one Broken and one smooth.
Yours just post WW1 I think around 1920s.
If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct.
Tim.
 
I agree with the above, too bad it's hard to read the markings, the date on this would have been interesting.
The marking style is definitely post ww1. Look for a reprimed ww1 case marked MS or EP
