The attached photographs show a WW1 6 pounder shell case.
The writing on the side of the case says 6pr 6cwt and a 1940 date.
Just a couple of queries. Was the WW1 case for a 6pr 6cwt? I'm sure someone on the forum mentioned that it was. If it wasn't is it possible that they did experiments using old cases for the 6pr 6cwt experimental project in the 1940's - clearly the WW2 final 6pr 6cwt case is completely different to this WW1 type case.
