Hello,

Interesting and not very common french practice rounds from 20's.
Body of 81mm HE frag projectile model 1918 were reused for practice (empty) with fins model 24/27 and a special gaine with spotting charge (top adapter for fuze is missing).
Originaly the HE model was fitted with fins similar to early British 3in stockes.
Internal frag is visible.
I noticed two different sizes for bourrelet (?)

Regards
