Remembered Today:

18 Pounder Cartridge Case?


wmfinch

Recommended Posts

Hello All,

 

I recently picked up this 1915 dated Cartridge Case which I think is an 18 pounder.  The stamp isn't very clear.  It has been polished an awful lot  but I can make out the C.F. cordite filled Mark and the makers Mark is M.L Co. AMZ. The acceptance arrow has the number 1 above it  with 8.1? below it.  Underneath, is a tiny 4.

 

As for the primer, I can only make out the Crows Foot and the number 15.  There is another very faint number which is unreadable.

 

It has been cut down to about 1 1/2 inches high for use as an Ashtray.

 

Any help will be much appreciated.

no problems, the primer is also stamped with c broad arrow, as for the other markings will have to wait till a expert comes along to identify  other than CF  cordite charged
