Mcanisme friction No 2 Mle 1870 modifi

I found this. Mcanisme friction No 2 Mle 1870 modifi.
There are different numbers of mechanism in function of the shell used.
No 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. The dimensions can differ in function of the number.
It was used by the Marine.

I hope it shall can help you in your ID
