I show a 2Pr (40x158R) Vickers Mk 11 projectile that seems to be a Common Pointed from 1918. I have had it for years and it has a Mk 1 case by VSM 1918.
Projectile is 159mm long (6 1/4") without a base fuze. The crimp groove is 5mm wide. Fits a Hotchkiss Mk1V fuze.
It is 298mm overall length loaded in the case (11.73").
Stamped 11 2Pr FS T&S 1.8.18 LOT 38.
I would like to confirm it is a Common Pointed projectile and who is the maker. T&S ?
This WW1 2Pr is now 108 years old so I am pleased to have it. I also have a WW1 Tracer cartridge.
