Looks like the 12Pdr separate loading tall case, missing the external primer.

Thanks for the info Hazord, not really my thing so am thinking about putting on ebay or SA, are these cases worth anything?
 
That's a well used case!

Originally filled full charge, reloaded reduced charge,reloaded reduced charge, reloaded full charge.

Well Darren, you know this stuff is priced "whatever the market will bear". Maybe our BOCN brothers in your part of the world can give you a better estimated value.

Of course it would be worth a lot more with the external primer, which is more rare than the case.
 
also looks like it was made by Kings Norton, and at that length it is a 12pr 12cwt gun case.
