This looks like 2 arrow heads touching which means the case was rejected. Possibly never loaded or stamped with the case mark.
If a 3Pr Hotchkiss case the small primer hole is unusual without the groove around it. Just my thoughts. I await other comments.

I thought the double arrow marks meant the item had been taken out of service. I'm sure somewhere here there are posts on the marking. the groove or lack of could be Hotchkiss or Nordenfelt having different designs, dont have enough examples here to check.

Head-to-head broad arrow symbol (stamp number GAC8, "Condemned Stamp") was to indicate unserviceable cases and repaired cases rejected at Scleroscope test.
6 radial star symbol, later replaced by 8-radial star with or without circle - as shown in the OP - (stamp number GAC12, "Rejection Stamp") was to indicate cases rejected at proof.
