The French Mle 1897 75mm cannon, better known simply as the ‘75’, was a French artillery piece heavily used during WWI. The gun was in action from the first day to the last day - during the Battle of Verdun, 75s fired 16 million shells in support of French efforts to break the German lines. This 3D printed version replicates the shrapnel version. It is coloured to correctly depict such a shell, with accurately stencilled details, and topped off with the ‘beehive’ fuze used by the French during this time period The shell will neatly fit into old 75mm shell casings, or can be displayed as a standalone item Please note that as with all my replicas, this is not not nor cannot be converted into actual ordnance
