Was given an 18 pr projectile the other day and am still trying to decipher the markings.
QF 18 Pr - type of projectile
IX - mark number
FS - forged steel
CFMCO - unknown (it's all capital letters)
25.5.17 - date manufactured
CXO - lot code?
nose to nose broad arrows - indicating sold out of service
I'm pretty sure I have most of the information correct, but I haven't been able to ID the CFMCO and confirmation of the CXO would be great.
Thanks all.
