Many thanks for the quick answer! And yes, it looks like the marks have rusted off. The projectile seems to be solid and I guess "Ball projectiles" should be solid?
Yes it has no filling, just a base plate. Next time give the dimensions too.
It helps the guessing competition if we have a length, diameter and base diameter too. I hope I was correct with ID. Ron.
I measured 3 loose 20mm Hispano Ball projectiles and got the following dimensions.
Length from 83.3mm - 83.6mm.
Base was 19.5mm. Body was 19.9mm. Drive band approx. 5mm wide.
From these dimensions I say it is possibly a 20x110 Hispano cannon Ball projectile. Could be British or USA or ???
Many years ago I found one of these projectiles on my favourite beach. It was just another lump of rust, probably a piece of shrapnel, so I thought. When I knocked off the rust the base plug fell off and the interior was hollow.
