Had a request for assistance from a small collector, but I have a busy week or more coming up and cannot get into any books any time soon. Thought I'd put it out to see if it clicks for anyone and makes for a quick answer.

The first is described as 105mm, formerly used as a collection container for charity, having a coin slot and (missing) lockable bottom. Rotating band does not look US, though the dummy fuze does.

The second is a French 75mm, with a base ejection (or cut off?)? Doesn't ring a bell for me, though maybe I haven't been paying attention.

Last is any info available on the French 105mm case, turned into trench art. Timeline and weapon?

Thanks in advance -
