Picked up my first French mortar today at a local gun show Looks like it's about 60mm and has caster marks. Paint appears to be original.

This is one of the Brandt 60mm pneumatic morter shells. I think there is two shapes. I also have this one. Mine is buff/yellow also.
 
Mine has what looks to be original gray overpainted with red.

Hello,
orcutteod, your projectile is French HE (internal prefrag) 60mm model 1916 B (for pneumatic launcher Brandt). Paint is original.
Slick, you have the version turned for practice with typical red paint
Regards
