Help ID a Projectile ....... German Ehrhardt?

[ordnance]

A friend of mine just acquired this projectile and is seeking a positive identification. He thinks it might be an M1901 or M1904 Ehrhardt projectile. It is 1905 dated. No dimensions at this point but I can probably provide them if it isn't obvious to one of our more advanced artillery collectors. That excludes me. Any help appreciated.

It's a shrapnell shell 1903 for the swiss 7,5 cm Feldkanone 1903. It was a Krupp gun - so not System Ehrhardt.

Thank you. Just what he needed.

I show my 7.5cm M1903 Shrapnel shell and case showing close-ups of fuze and headstamp on case.
Fuze is graduated 1-29.
The case has info in the key slots. Looks like: + D XT.05
I did not realise this was a Model 1903 till this thread. Thanks. Ron.
