german, italian, french...7,7 cm or 3"

[al'saad]

this one is found under foundations of the house which is being rebuild. i still can not identify this item, but its diameter is round 75-77 mm. it has two copper driving bands, one near nose and one near bottom. i assume it is blast round, but i am afraid it is filled with some kind of toxic agent.
help wanted!
