With many thanks to gspragge for his posts on 37mm projectiles I thought to post a couple of pictures of 2 French WW1 canister rounds that I have in the collection. One is the model of 1880 with a Hotchkiss, Paris headstamp and the other is a model 1908 with what I think is a headstamp for the revolver gun and rapid fire, dated 1911. The model of 1908 came with a baseplate which often got traded in for scrap!
