    It looks like a High Explosive artillery shell, and the short length of the cartridge makes me think it was for use with a mountain gun. Have you measured the diameter of the shell? I would suspect it is 75mm.

    The Chinese Navy obtained it´s first specimens in 1875 - in this respect, any production year is conceivable. However, "Year Nine" could provide a clue to the production year.
