Is this an Italian 37x94R case, could someone tell me more about it? What means the number 15 imprinted over the markings? TIA

It looks like a 1903 case and the 15 means reloaded in 1915.
My reference is page 440 of Vol 2 Mellichamp book on 37mm ammo.
 
A quick reply. I was assuming it was reloaded in 1915. Mellichamp shows a similar case but does not actually say the 15 is a reload date.
It certainly looks like a date. Just wanted to state I may be wrong?
He says the two digits in a circle may have replaced the loading dates.

Hi Mick, unfortunately not, I am now looking for a shell to go with it. Cheers. Frank

Strange, the C-10-03 re-stamp looks very Swedish to me......the case is without doubt Italian and the primer is Italian navy.
