What do the markings in 75mm WW1 trench art mean?
Upvote:5
Quite a bit of information can be gleaned from the description here (though a photo and measurements would still help greatly).
- 75 DE --(is there a C following this? and what are the dimensions?) points towards a French 75mm shell, perhaps used in something like this
- A.RS --was identified in the answer here as 'manufactured in Rennes (Ateliers de construction de Rennes).'
- /333 --likely a lot number, as per discussion here
- .15 --is the year of manufacture, 1915.
- five punch marks and small k near primer --unclear, need photo for context
Most of this can be compared to the answers about a similar shell in What can I learn from these WW1 shell cases?
A discussion on the greatwarforum has info concerning the 75 DE C designation.
ARS is also mentioned in the headstamp codes listed here
A discussion on marking on similar 75mm shell casings can also be found at forum.cartridgecollectors.org
