I picked up this typical common 6pr 7cwt case this weekend.
I didn't pay much attention to it until this evening. The headstamp is the usual
but I have never come across the stenciled black band around the base and the letters HV in two places.
I presume this means High Velocity, so a non standard load ? or for the Disgarding Sabot projectile ?
The base was thick with green and plaster bits oddly -
