This has been offered to me for $40.

 

It looks like it was painted over.

 

What is it and should I buy it?

Looks like a standard WW1 US 75, fuze should be marked Scovill 1907.  I cant tell if the driving band shows its been fired or not (most are found fired).  Last one I sold in similar condition I got $60 for.

I'd buy it at $40.  You can usually find the 75mm shells around to pair up with it.

Thank you gents.

Weren't the bodies of these painted such that red meant shrapnel?

#6

It looks like there could be two crimping grooves below the rotating band. If so it would be a 3" M-1904 Field Gun  shrapnel. Provided, of course, if the diameter is 3". Information  not provided in original post.
