2-Pr No.1 Mk.II case. Trench Art ?

[reccetrooper]

Is this simply trench art, or does it have a legitimate purpose ?

Could it be a Tampion type case, to rinse the barrel?

This was for some type of anti-submarine mortar (Hedgehog, I think, but I am sure some of our ex-RN members will know). I think it was fired electrically, with the wire going in through the mouth of the case.

Hello,
had the same identification problem a while ago, see here http://www.bocn.co.uk/vbforum/threads/101571-Unknown-item-made-out-of-2-Pdr-case

Indeed original for Hedgehog.

Thanks everyone for the identification. If anyone needs one take a look at the D and B Militaria website.
