This turned up, the storage box for the obturator pad for the Navy 9,2 inch gun. Very pleased with this one. Never seen one, not a very common object. When it is ready I think I will cast one from a resin to see what it actually looks like.
Does somebody have more info on obturators?
From the wiki page this picture off the obturator in the gun. It's the pad between the mushroom shaped head an the treads that go into the breech. And the forward 9,2 inch gun on HMS Cressy.
