Trying to identify artillery shell
Found an apparent WWI artillery projectile in a family warehouse in Southeastern France, reportedly brought back from Verdun by my great-great-grandfather who served in French artillery. Can anyone identify the projectile from its shape/fuze and the grooves near the base? It has not been opened or modified. The shell itself in the picture is on a ledge so the perspective is pretty crappy with the car in the background so don't compare the scale with that as a reference.

Looking for a Particular World War 1 After Dark Edit
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I'm sorry if this is cringe, but I have been looking for a video for about 3 years, I have been unable to find it, and I would like to know if anybody knows about it or remembers it.
Introduction
I remember seeing an edit around 2022 or 2023 which contained the footage provided, with video clips in the same order, but the music was synced properly to the transitions between video clips, and the song used might have been the Quitezy edit of After Dark by Mr. Kitty, or otherwise some version of After Dark slowed. I found the provided video on a TikTok account called "hans_deutschland" which I am unable to find again, but this account on YouTube might have posted it but then deleted it https://www.youtube.com/@hans_deutschland5986. A more specific description of how the video differs from the provided clip will be explained under the "Video Characteristics" section.
Search Queries
I know that the video clips are not only from World War 1, but back then, I believe the video had a title on YouTube which stated that it was a World War 1 edit. Back then, I found this edit by searching things such as "ww1 after dark edit" and it was in the 2nd page of the video results on Google. I have tried searching all combinations of the search queries I remember using for hours on different search engines and on the Web Archive, but I have not been able to find the video. I believe, in addition to searching "ww1 after dark edit", I added other terms to the search, such as "imperial germany" or "imperial german army" and its variations, such as "german empire", so the search would be something like "german empire ww1 after dark edit". I may have also omitted "after dark" from my search, so that it would be something like "german empire ww1 edit". Along with searching for edits of the German Empire, I searched for edits of other countries, so instead of "german empire" being in the search, I would include "russian empire" and its variations, "austria" or "hungary" or "austria-hungary" and its variations, "ottoman empire", or "central powers". With these combinations of searches, I remember the video appearing around the 2nd to 5th page of video results on Google.
Video Characteristics
Along with After Dark being slowed and the video clip transitions being synced with the beats of the song, near the start of the video, there was a sound effect of somebody laughing and a psycho wojak which was edited to look more similar to Gavrilo Princip. I am not fully certain, but I think that there were also pictures of flags and maps at the start of the video, before the video clips in the provided video start playing. After these pictures, I think the first video clip was a close-up of Vladimir Lenin speaking, with the scene zoomed into his face and the frame following his head moving, keeping his head near the center of the screen.
TL;DR A few years ago, I saw a ww1 edit, which contained some video clips from other wars, and have not been able to find it since.
