This is a little unusual, a 13pdr Proof of Firing(?) that was being used as a clock weight - it always pays to look inside long case clocks! I assume that the P of F is proof of firing. Of Canadian manufacture, does anyone know who JTD/L are?3
Yes, Ive never seen a WW1 proof before. I guess they’ve always had to prove this that or the other thing but Ive only come across modernist proof rounds
JTD/L was J T Davis Ltd, London. P of F is "Proof of Fuzes" stamp for HE shell used for proof of fuzes only. What looks like the Canadian forging acceptance stamp is more likely a broad arrow in an oval, a Transfer stamp denoting HE shell which has passed certain mechanical and analytical tests.
