47mm 18pr - This is So Wrong !

[Gspragge]

Found today this oddity ~
The body diameter is 47mm at the base, 6"7/16th body (164mm), total is 7 1/8"(181mm).
The band is cut like a 13 or 18pr. This is I think for some kind of lamp
judging by the threaded fitting in the nose/dummy fuze. No markings
of course and the base is wide open and if it was a blank body it hasn't
been trimmed or threaded for a plug. The length of base below the band
is correct in length, above the band it is the same length as a regular 3pr.
But it is about an 1"3/16" wide where the regular 3pr is at the point of the tip
of the nose. It is too wide to fit my 3pr case also. One wonders what the case
was like presuming it had one of some sort.
Thoughts any one ?

Same as on the 13 & 18prs. It cleaned up well enough, brass acorn was on it so I put it back.
I guess no one else has run across one like this. Certainly made where the real ones were made at
any rate. I could be considered "Trench Art" but it's not repurposed and is more of a miniature type of thing.
