Plunger bomb
This looks like an artillery shell that has been converted into a bomb. The shell looks like an adapted French 75mm HE projectile. The French did use these shells in the bomb and mortar roll suitably converted during the first war. If used as a mortar the driving band would have been lathed flat. If I'm correct its an interesting and rare item.

Doctor, do you have any information on these conversions?
