Not much new but I did pick up this case today.
First time I have found one with a reload stencil intact.
Slightly misshapen but I beat some sence into it.

Hi May have a little info about the ink marking

1 The case was Round as I think it was fixed REPD (repaired) at DAQ in November 1929

2 A Station /Depot I don't this establishment could be Army

3 The propellant lot is R.D.B.S G.276 A.C ( could be adjusted charge)

4 Its very hard to read the marking on the bottom of the case (Lot 214? ) made in 1917? don't know where and by who

5 Am sure other members will be able to help you

Yours Steve EX RNAD Trecwn
 
DAQ - Dominion Arsenal Quebec
Case was made by The Gramophone Company.

Thanks for all that ( I don't see the thanks button ?) , I did wonder who made it. Not as well marked as most on the base. I don't know if I will
be able to find a post ww1 primer if that is neccessary. A post ww1 projectile would be nice for it as well.
