Listed as Belgium, but probably German.

Length: 454-MM

Sorry about the poor base image ... it's all I have

Any ideas on a designation?

Hi,
I have a similar shell, mine being a French 155mm HE. Mine matches the image attached so I guess yours is identical? Maybe?...
The holes in the base are for the purposes of carrying the shell (I assume by threading a rope through).
Cheers!

I did post a callout for info on mine a while back and got some great info, but being computer technologically brain dead, I'm not sure how to add the BOCN post link thingy.
I do know it was titled 'French 155mm'.....
