Post the inside diameter of the case mouth, the case length and the rim diameter (in mm). This should make identification easier.
Also, do you have a BRASS wire brush? This can be used to clean the green corrosion off the case without causing any damage. It has to be a brass brush though, steel will damage the case.

That B stamp looks like a Bofors B'n'arrow stamp. The measurements would help a lot... At first glance I thought it might be a 47x185 or something like that.
