good morning, please see the attached photos of a 4.5inch howitzer shell. Forget the colour, it probably isn't original but see the base and interestingly, the lead drive band. I'm fairly sure that the band is original, apart from the detailed machining, it is stamped with a broad arrow, an R and a crown. But what purpose would it have been made for?
any thoughts?
thanks, Dave
