Hello,

Does anybody know the name the canon which was used to fire this projectile?

It's 15,5cm in diameter and about 41cm long. It currently weighs 33kg(empty).

JF,

It looks like a U.S. fuze. It also looks like a fairly old projectile from WWI to WWII timeframe. I'm thinking U.S. 155mm Howitzer.
