Hi All,
I have this unusual projectile with markings that appears to have been done at two (2?) distinct periods - the faint markings I assume are the original ones and the more distinct ones done later during perhaps re-purposed?
Original /Faint Markings:
---------------------------
15 p (15 pdr?)
/|\ Broad Arrow (between the "T P") - British
"S C & | 00" - Manufacturer's stamp / Original Date (1900?)
"QF" - Quick Fire?
Later Stamps: (?)
---------------------
"T P" - Test Projectile?
"P' - Practice Shot?
"C I" - Cast Iron? (or "G I"?)
Later Date: 10 11 18?
Lot Number: 397?
I look forwards to your valuable thoughts! :tinysmile_twink_t2:
Thanks
Cheers
Drew
