Looks like a very hard to find Cow gun practice projectile, nice original paint, Don,t clean it just wax it.
 
Thanks a lot MINENAZ16 and tigbrand, I did not think it was British. Is it the 1½ PR COW gun HE (37x190)?

That is exactly right! Nice find! Casings aren't nearly as difficult to find so you should be able to find one to complete it!
 
You get a choice of cases, these projectiles have been found in France, they also tried it out.

Thanks Gspragge, that's a very nice case you have, if you decide one day to part with it, let me know, it will find a very nice home. :tinysmile_hmm_t:
