1 Pdr mkll projectile

Hi,looking for more info on this 1pdr. Its marked as follows. 1 PR 37MM H. EOC 6.6.19. Also marked with i guess a lot no 2619. I assume H on this shell denotes Hotchkiss?? (Base fuze thread type?) It also has no top band which is normal on the British Mk 1/2 1pdr common shell. Also retains some black paint and what looks like a thin white band and a white tip. Any appreciated. Tig

I think these were exported to Spain , no idea about the H ?

Thanks for the reply Gordon. My mate has a book on 37mm ammo and it wasn't in there. Any idea of the case type? Cheers Tig.

This is the headstamp more detailed than a British issue case.
The only projectile I have found had been converted to a cigar trimmer.
I no longer have it or the case, can't find an image of it ? It must
have been a PD projectile, but the markings were pretty much the same.
