It is/was a 6 pounder MKIII case made in 1917 so as there is no N on it for naval use can I therefore take as being for use in the British MKIV tank shortened 6 pounder gun? I understand these were first used in 1917?
It was a CF load & has GN stamped on it - could this be Great Northern rail?
It was then cut down at some stage (I assume same time) & made into a 6 pounder MKIV Blank at RL (Royal Laboratories?)
It has several crowsfeet - one of which has a B below.
Also a dimple above the 6Pr - is this the mark for a reload as well? (similar to German cases).
Cheers in advance
