Hello all. Received this Canadian 25 pdr case C314-1-C today. Nice but I don't know much about it. Are there any missing parts? Do you have any info or pics of a complete one? Thanks for your help.bd7720df-2805-4884-bce0-6a5c0b3fe74a.jpgb70f0a3c-85d4-4341-a588-9d2cf50be8b2.jpg467717761_1533801097500238_6231615210207107322_n.jpg1c7c25b9-07ec-4f32-b605-0403992e19f2.jpg
 
I think you're right that it is missing something. That central spigot is the clue. There was likely a steel plate with a central hole that fitted over the spigot and would have formed a platform for the top four charges. There may also have been other parts of internal packaging. Each charge would likely also have been in its own packaging. Hopefully you will get a more definitive answer.
