Hi,
I would appreciate any help in finding out information about this projectile.
Many thanks,

Some questions I'm hoping to find answers to.
What country made the projectile and what type of projectile is it?
What do the colours on the projectile mean?
What does a complete projectile with fuze look like and what does the cartridge case look like?
What do the words stencilled in white on the side of the projectile mean?
What do the following markings on the side mean?
W
Cross
+S
What do the following markings on the base mean?
4
6 or 8 within Cross

The projectile’s measurements:
244 mm’s in length;
118 mm’s across the base;
113 mm’s across the outside of the opening;
105 mm’s across the inside of the opening.
