37mm or 2 Pr case ?

37bis

Well-Known Member
Hello,
I can't identify this beautifully engraved case.
Length : 138 mm
Caliber : 36,5 mm
Diameter of rim : 48 mm
However, the base is marked 2 Pr, which should correspond to 40mm (?)























Thank you for your opinions and help.

All my 9.5" DCT cases are the full length 157mm and are not shortened or necked mouth.
This seems a very early case 1918 so maybe they were shorter and later used normal case length?
Additional question. When was the 9.5" Depth Charge Thrower first used?

Think it's been knecked down when it was trench arted. The 9.5 inch case is as a standard 2 Pdr.
