Hello All,
This rather battered 5.25 inch case popped up on a recent archaeological project. Hopefully going to a museum after conservation. Can anyone help with interpreting the headstamp?
Sorry for the poor pictures. Markings are:
5.25 In II
ICI
S
P2 (circled)
N 1940
Lot 48
PW (circled)
--
No 17
II N
EW (square)
PL 1940 45
W. 8/40
I've not seen "PW" after a lot no. before?
Is there anyway to determine if it came off a King George V class battleship or a Dido Class cruiser?
Thanks
