Good morning
I'm looking for information on this bag.
I think it's English. There are the same cloth bags that contain picric powder for common lyddite shells.
No PP registration.
It marked "2 OZ" on it.

Yes this is uk and marked up for G12 which is black powder. Red was used for charge 1 and for igniters. Looking at the fabric, it looks like shalloon which would suggest an igniter.. need to see more writing to confirm
