Hello guys,
I am looking for more information about the universal shells developed by Schneider, namely the PUS (projectile universel simple) and especially the PUT (projectile universel à pétard de tête).
I have checked most information sources online (gallica, etc) but i could not find much information except the post on the bulgarianartillery page and some mentions in an article from Revue d`artillerie.
I am mostly interested if anyone has seen such a shell in real life. We have some small evidence that Romania ordered such shells when we bought the 75mm Schneider mountain guns in 1912. We found a mention of the universal shell and very few data, but the giveaway was the Schneider triple effect fuze. The description we found seems to match the PUT projectile. However I have never seen any drawings or photos in manuals, nor did we see any specimens discovered in the field.
Many thanks from me and @wingsofwrath for any information!
