This has a lot of people puzzled because or the 114mm Rim and headstamp , it's a 3 inch case, I got it from an Armourer when HMS Rosyth Naval dock yard was still fully operational in the Firth of Forth 12 miles from me ,
The Headstamp is confusing because of the rim diameter 114mm ,
After years I still can't get this to add up because right calibre but wrong rim etc , some say it was a failed rapid fire trials for a 3 inch naval gun like the oto melera , ??? I've spoken to Anthony Williams about it ,now I'm here ,
Trying to get maximum information on this ,
Cheers Ken
