Torrey McLean Posted 12 July , 2017 Share Posted 12 July , 2017 Hello, iJM - I can help on a few markings, as follows: "EOC" = Elsworth Ordnance Company (manufacturer) "S" in double "C" = Canadian Cartridge Company (manufacturer) "A" in circle = indicates that case has been refilled once "S." = indicates that case was tested for strength by stereoscope "II" under "18 PR" = Mark II type of 18-pdr shell case The dates, lot numbers, etc. are self-evident. Other more knowledgeable forum members probably can identify the "LDQ" and other markings. Regards, Torrey McLean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick D Posted 12 July , 2017 Share Posted 12 July , 2017 Is EOC not Elswick Ordnance Company, I.e. the Armstrong factory Scotswood Road, Newcastle ? Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick You're correct that elswick used EOC . I can see the former site from the end of my street ( a lovely view down the valley to the river) Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
