What Diameter is it?

What are the studs made from?

Any markings on the studs?

Have no idea what studs are made of appears to be around 60/75mm in diameter. I noticed your avatar looks just like it.

It looks like it might be French to me.

Armstrong shells had 3 rows of studs.

Franco prussian war era french stud shell ( I only happen to know this as I saw another a long time ago that was in much better condition that was a war souvenir by a Prussian soldier). Pretty sure the studs are made of lead.

This shell was up for auction and mysteriously was pulled after several bids.:tinysmile_angry_t:

I had seen it also. I don't think you missed out on much, its condition wasn't very great.
