Translation of Bulgarian shell case

Hi, can somebody translate the text on this Bulgarian shell case? I think it says “ПОЪСКИТОП” in Cyrillic Bulgarian, and is pronounced “POŬSKITOP”, but both Google translate and ChatGPT are not able to translate. Anybody who knows what it stands for?

It is not bulgarian, but serbian. Пољски Топ means Field gun.
 
Thanks! Now I wonder if 76 is for the caliber or a Krupp shell case number. I am not aware of a Schneider-Canet 76 mm field gun, I really think this case is for the M1907 75 mm Schneider-Canet.
