Hello,

Picked up this nice 1916 dated Mk9 18Pdr recently which has a curious stamp on the body.
Very hard to photograph, but it looks like it says 'Scotia'.
From that, I'm assuming its a Canadian made projectile, and maybe has links to Nova Scotia? Of course, I could be way of the mark, but if anyone can shed some light on this one I'd be very grateful.
Thanks in advance!

Many thanks Tim,

Am I right in assuming the 'Scotia' legend was the company's trademark/logo?
Thanks.
