Hello. I believe it is the 8cm or 9cm Prussian Bleimantel granate Bleihemd. These go up to a calibre 15cm + They were manufactured between 1866 and 1890. I attached a picture which shows some 15cm examples with and without their lead jacket for the rifling inside the barrel. The example you show has lost its lead jacket (like most examples).

it's not prussian for sure. The "ribs" are much to flat.

Its a Boer 66mm Broadwell RBL common shell without its lead jacket.
