Hi all,

With reference to the picture below, can anyone tell me what the stampings on this brass shell-case mean? NB: There is a 'P' under the bend in the chain hook, just in front of the 'O'.

It is a French case from 1916 from the main 75 mm fieldgun of the French during WW1. DEC means "De Campagne", if I remember correctly this means fieldgun.
