Pictured is what I think is a case from the modern Russian 18cm S-23 field gun. My understanding is that this gun was designed in the 1950's and has seen action with the Egyptian and Syrian forces as well as service within the Soviet Union. The case has a rim of 225mm, length of 855mm and mouth diameter of 197mm. I would offer that this particular example was made in 1987. Pictured alongside a 100x695 case for comparison. Confirmation of my identification and any other information would be greatly appreciated.
