Hi,

found a bit of trech art some time ago when clearing out my grandfathers house made out of old shell. Not sure of the shells nationality.

 

Marked on base 75 DEC D.613L. 15. D (the full stops actually small triangle shapes)

 

Any ideas what nationality or even date could be??

 

 

Cheers

Sounds like a French 75mm.

 

Cheers,

Andy

Many thanks Andy. That would fit as my Grandfather was in France at the end of the war so could have picked it up then.

The DEC marking stands for Canon 75 de Campagne, it is a French 75

Many thanks, the info is appreciated.

 

Cheers
