Is this a French Schneider 90mm M1877 ?

The projectile is 335mm long from base to top of nose plug and is 90mm dia. There are only a few base stampings on it, possibly a date plus maker's marks. The brass nose plug looks like a 'standard' French impact fuse. Any ideas?

Your shell must be 90 mm FA Mle 14 (318 from base to top gaine) or A Mle15 B (321 from base to top gaine)
