4.7"

An interesting find. This is a 4.7" Model of 1906. Again, the bullet was with the case but not 100% sure it's a proper combination.
Sadly, the fired projectile and fuze combo isn't perfect, and does not come apart (yet), but a big bullet, fer sure. HEAVY!

The crimp is what I call a "stab crimp", in reference to another thread. Hopefully, Ray can enlighten me on the proper nomenclature.
