Ross Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 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??

AndyD Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Sounds like a French 75mm. Cheers, Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 The DEC marking stands for Canon 75 de Campagne, it is a French 75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
