French 75mm case

[Burney Davis]

I've attached pictures of a case I have. It measures 75 x 277 x 90R.

It looks to be a standard 350mm 1897 model cut down for reuse with a larger obturating ring fixed to the base. The Hawkinson list says this is for an unknown field gun. Does anyone have information on what this gun might be?

My next question is what projectile would have fitted it? It has three equally spaced stab marks 1.75cm below the neck indicating it would accept a projectile with a cannelure groove. The standard projectile for the 75mm case does not have that groove. What projectile would fit this case? TIA for comments.

Probably an export case for the Romanian 75 mm Schneider Canet.

Thanks for that. Any idea what the projectile woud have looked like?

I had one and was told it was to allow use in the Belgian 75 field gun, with the remains of the Belgian cannister shot.
There will be a post showing this some where here by me.
