Need help identifying this shell case, please

Does anyone know what shell case this is and how old this shell case Is? Its diameter is 2.5inches and it length is 15.25inches. Thank you.

It is a French made, 1907 dated, 47 mm Schneider-Canet navy case. Pretty hard to find! I am afraid it is cut down though, it should be significantly longer.

Significantly longer?

I am actually interested in the original length, I have seen a same case and that was about 530 mm long but no clear dimensions. Significantly longer than the case shown .

47x530? Whow!

As this case here has a neck it not looks cut down to me. There were 47x377 and 47x380 cases the 47x377R has a double-rim, about the 47x380R I don't know. And the case here seems to be even longer than 380 mm.

Unfortunately I cannot find the image anymore ;-(. It was indeed extremely long, but there is a possibility this case is of original length. Many navcy Schneider-Canet cases came in different lengths and documentation is scarce.
