Projectile ID Required

[peteblight]

Can someone provide an ID on this projectile please.
I don't have much information and wasn't able to measure it, however i'm told it is 12cm in diameter.

The hole in the side was made during the RSP.

Cheers

it's a austro-hungarian 12 cm shrapnel

Thanks Alpini. Do you know the exact model?
Also, are you 100% sure on it being shrapnel as i was told it had a gas fill when it was found.

Cheers

the designation should be 12 cm M.12/12b Schrapnell but I am not sure. Yes it is a shrapnel for sure. It has a black powder base charge. The construction of austrian chemical shells is much different from a shrapnel.

Hello,

No luck, this shell has no designation in the Italian museum "Museo della Guerra Bianca in Adamello"

What does "RSP" stand for? (Restore Service Process?)

Pity it is such a "big" hole.......
