Hello,
I have these 2 shells, Serbian Schneider made.
Tallest one is for 75mm schnedier mod 07 field gun, with 24 grooves.

the other I think for the Schneider mountain gun Mod 1908, Mod 10 used by different country. What that puzzled me is the rifling, 28 as krupp standard.
any info abut?

best regards

The link https://www.afbourdon.com/fonds-archives/ allows you to reach (with some difficulty as being a French digital archive site it is all but user-friendly) the cumulative search engine. By selcting a keyword and define a a period (for instance "bombe" and "1912-1960") and "documents numerises" you'll open the gates to a wealth of documents including the "Album Jules Breton" gatherinmg documensta nd photographies of ww1 French rdnance development - here too, the search engine brings a list of entries and once again getting from there to the scans is not straightforward but by truying to push all the possible hyperlinks on the page you'll get to the treasure :)
