Here are some nice images of a possible 17 pound AP projectile /// or at least thats what we think.

Any ideas? ... I have included images of the primer for those that like to see those things.

Hi, you have a 17 pdr. AP cap projectile in a case marked for AP shot. Both projectiles have internal tracer. Cheers, RonB.
 
primer

Any ideas on the primer? And does that case go with that projectile (could they be interchanged)?

Primer No.9 Mk.3

Yes, the primer is correct, so you have a complete 17 Pdr. round - type APC/T. Nice item, used for short range high velocity impact due to the cap being added which retards the shattering effect especially on face hardened Armour. Cheers, RonB.
