French 75mm shell

[douglas2496]

Hi everyone, I have this French 75. What I would like to know is which war does it date from? Clearly this type of shell was in use during WW1, and the French 75mm field gun was still in use in WW2, but was this kind of shell also still in use? The fuse appears to be the earlier pre 1916 type as far as I can tell. The shell is marked 39, is this a date? Any help appreciated. Doug
