Unknown Transit Plug... (Canadian?)

[staples57]

Today's purchase....
I picked this up at a local military show (Cornwall, Ontario).
I think it's some type of a transit plug?

The Details;
- Steel plug (painted orange/brown in colour)
- The "cap" is 6cm in diameter
- The overall height is 2cm
- The threads are 5cm in diameter and 1.5cm tall
- The wrench fitting is 1.5cm square
- The underside of the plug is stamped with the Canadian "C Broad Arrow"

Markings;
C & S
No 1
20
II

And now for the usual question... what did I buy?

Thanks,
Brad

Brad, I'm pretty sure it is a shell transit plug that screwed into the nose of a shell instead of a fuze during transport, at least I have seen them sold as such..Dano

Thanks Dan. Any idea what the the markings indicate?

No Brad, No idea what the markings indicate. Dugup used to sell them, but I think those were British manufacture and that's what they sold them as.

I saw the ones they had... nice, but a little different from mine.
I think it is a transit plug, but I'd like more info if I can get it.
...if the information isn't here (BOCN members) then it's no where

Cheers,

Thanks doctor.
Any idea on the markings? Is it fair to say that "C&S" is the manufacturer?

Thanks doctor!
The transport plug will be the perfect addition to my 13 PDR.

For me, I love knowing the details about the items in my collection.
...I'll move it from the "unknown" shelf to the "ordnance section" of my collection

Cheers,
