Help with Identification of a Shell Case

[Kike]

Hi could any one help me with identifying this shell case

[Spaceman]

British 18-pdr field gun cartridge (Mk II) case dated 1916 and filled twice (CFF - Cordite filled twice 2 x F). Obviously missing the screw in primer that has been replaced by a cork! Only other thing I can see is the lot number used so that they could work out precisely when and possibly where it was manufactured.

That’s great thank you

I have bought another shell case but not arrived yet would you possibly have a look at that as well when I put it on please as I can’t find anything about the design that’s on it

Can I ask how you know it’s British? 
I have started collecting different ww1 items and any advice would be appreciated

The conjoined EOC monogram at 3 o’clock indicates the case was made by Armstrong Whitworth, at their Elswick plant at Newcastle-on-Tyne. The A in a circle mark at 1 o’clock shows the case was Annealed when it was reloaded.

I don’t know of a comprehensive online source of information on cartridge case markings, but the following link contains some info:

PS. A clearer picture would help.
