ID this projectile...Civil war???

This walked in to the store the other day, and was wondering what it is ...looking at similar design..am thinking CW era and hoping someone could positively ID it...about 9 inches tall, and about 4 inches diameter

WW1-WW2, probably the latter. It had a copper driving band that is missing. The hole in the base is probably for a tracer compound. With exact dimensions, we can probably tell what size the round was. (75mm, 3 inc, 155mm, etc).

Value will be pretty low, based on the condition.

ah but it came from Normandy...LOL kidding of course...will most likely become a door stop but thought it cool enough to save from the scrap heap....

Thanks Nirvana..

I won't be back up to the store for a few weeks to get the dimensions....We have a 75 mm pack howitzer at the museum, just made a projectile for it from aluminum stock and this has a bigger diameter for sure than the 75mm
