I believe the case shown was made by the Cossipore Gun & Shell Factory in India, and dated 28th July 1911. Not an expert but what tipped me off was Broad Arrow over which I recognise as an Indian Government inspection marking.

Surprised nobody else has dropped by with additional information. Given the Indian connection the KF marking indicates the case was filled at the Kirkee Arsenal. However the primer was apparently made by R.A.Lister & Co in the UK and dated August 1918.
