Hello,

I think it's a Belgian 47mm HE shell (47mm OEA) for anti tank gun SA FRC M31 (Belgian used french fuzes for these shells).

Regards.

Foud that, but here: http://www.bocn.co.uk/vbforum/threads/39124-The-French-Collection?highlight=french+47mm, fifth shell in first post is declared as 47x139R 47mm Mle 1934. Also found that most of Belgian guns are used in bunkers on Atlantic wall. Whether isposible that some reached Balkans?

Yes I know this thread but the shell shown is Belgian and not French.
German used Belgian 47mm AT guns in Europe during WW2. Sometimes I find Belgian 47mm APC round (same gun) in France (German places).
German nomenclature of the gun : 4.7cm Pak 185 (b).
Regards.
