I am trying to identify this, as it was a part of a box of things that was dropped off at our Base museum. Any help would be appreciated.

Craig,

The plaque reads:

Putilovsky Factory
#47 year 1911
St. Petersburg
Schneider System

Hope this helps. Simon

Simon! Thank you very much. This brass plate was among some personal belongings that were brought into the Base museum for a donation. The deceased gentleman, according to relatives, was a Canadian Navy Vet. Among the items were his WW2 medals particularly the Atlantic Star, so this may mean that he may have acquired this on a port visit.

Thank you again!

I think, the plate is from the WWI artillery cannon.

My guess too. Schneider was a french artillery manufacturer.
