Definitely looks like a 3pr comon pionted shell of around 1900. There would normally be a base fuze with a left hand thread. Sometimes empty fuze bodies or solid plugs were fitted to practice shell when they were inert filled. Looks like you have some of the brass left in that has been sawn off, maybe because its jammed in hard or someone didn't realise it was LH threaded. A quick measure of a fuze body I have would make me think a fuze is solid brass to below the level of the base of the shell. wii look and see what drawings I have. 2pr
