1898 Naval shell case???

156pff

Member
Hi everyone,
Attached are 3 photos of a shell case I found at a boot sale 20 years ago.

No photos in fact. As I suspected, I'm having problems uploading photos, it wants to take photos only from a website rather than my computer, the latter link isn't enabled.

So, I'll describe instead. It is 14cm high, the mouth has been belled as a pen holder or vase. Headstamp, top to bottom is
II R arrow L, 7 1/2 OZ arrow N, across the bottom is 10 8 98.

Looking inside, there is a tube from the primer that extends halfway into the case.

Any ideas on what it might be?
Thanks
Martin
