Just finished this one ,took a long time to bring all the bits together ,the case is from E.W Bliss of the USA and has been reloaded a least once .Thanks to all the members of BOCN who have helped with advice and bits

Great job! It clearly shows the functioning of the shell.

Just to add the case was made by E.W.Bliss of Brooklyn,New York,in June 1916 ,has been scleroscoped (a type of x-ray) ,S with a punched dot once and low temperature annealed once, A with a punched dot.GRY I believe is Great Western Railway workshops where the case was reconditioned

That's a fantastic job, It has inspired me to have a go at one I have. The cordite looks the part and it's all been finished off really well, thanks for showing it.

Decided the 18 pounder needed a box ,don't know how accurate this is but enjoyed making it
