Hi all
This is my first post in this forum so please bear with me. While I am a militaria collector I know nothing about shell cases or how to read the head stamps and all the markings. I have done my best to try to work it out but thought I would see what the experts have to say. It is a beautiful shell case that stands at 600cm, 140mm across the head stamp with a circumference under the rim of 120mm. Loads of cryptic markings with a date of 1918. I hope someone can shed some light on this. Bought this for approx 30 pounds at the scrap metal yard. Thanks
