If you enlarge the last picture you can see some very faint writing, all I can make out is what looks to be 1939 but im not sure.

On the bottom of the shell case it has 105. C.M LE .35 ARS .14 38. B.D.

The .50 round looks like a .50 caliber Browning MG round made by Kynoch in England.

Thankyou Adrian, VERY helpfull! Are these shell cases pretty hard to find? I would really like to get a shell to fit in it.

Sorry, no idea on rarity. My only advice would be to look around on French websites, but I don't really know of any French dealers.

Cheers, Ade.
