Engraving meanings: 37-85= 37MM Model of 188537mm French Hotchkiss made by Parc d'Artillerie de ParisPD.Ps= Parc d'Artillerie de Paris2.16=1916Anti tank shell "France introduced the model 1916 37mm gun for infantry support. It was designed for both direct and indirect fire, and intended primarily for destroying machine gun emplacements. It turned out to be somewhat wanting in this role, and mortars really did a better job. But that didn’t prevent it from being pretty widely used by both American and French units, and other nations after WWI. It also saw use in the early M1917 tank. The US still had a bunch of these in supply at the beginning of WWII, though they were largely used for sub-caliber training"
