tootrock Posted 11 May , 2019 Share Posted 11 May , 2019 The driving band from an un-fired shell would have no grooves. This item has grooves, but there is another metal item in the grooves, and in first picture the top seems to be of greater diameter than the rest. If it is/was a driving band has it subsequently been made into something else? Trench art? Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
