Looking for 3pdr info

[US-Subs]

Looking for a document on what I believe to be a US 3pdr. Base fuzed, 47mmx174mm. Single rotating band. Thanks in advance.

Looks like one, 1890 - 1900 era, any markings.

None, no stamps at all. The remnants of a brass plug/fuze are in the base, again no markings. Too beaten up to tell anything. Purchased at a local show with no background.

The driving band looks similar to one i had on a 6pr.
Sheet brass sleeve pressed onto the projectile,mine was loose so you could rotate it around the projectile.

Hotchkiss 47mm for L/40 Rapid Fire Cannon M1897 or earlier version? The poor quality pictures I have appear to show a projectile having a driving band very similar to the one pictured above.

Does it have a large steel plug in the base with a smaller threaded hole for the base fuze? If so, it's an A.M.O. Co. APHE. 1900, give or take. I'm looking for docs. I'm holding one in my hand, identical to it but marked.

Nope. Med sized brass plug which is beaten badly.
