Hotchkiss Casing

Hi guys,

I need your help!

A friend of mine gave me this casing, I think it's a Hotchkiss one, but I am not sure it hasn't been cut down and I am unsure of the calibre.
Measurements are : mouth 53-54mm, difficult to be sure, length 182mm and rim diameter 64mm

It's made of 3 parts, the head being secured with 4 brass rivets. The markings are still present: LOT 4 HB (Hotchkiss logo I guess) and 1885-4
