Couldnt resist this case even though it has a couple of dings. Its nicely marked but can someone please translate. From the head stamp it looks british and i guess from a sherman, other than that i'm clueless.

Thanks for the info Blackwatch. Never occured to me that it could be Canadian. Does the CAN stencil denote Cannister or Canadian?
Cheers

The "/C" after the maker's mark denotes Canadian on Artillery cases from the WW2 period.
