knurled rim
this sort of grooves usually refered to as knurling is generally used to indicate a non service round or case ie a blank or practice where it might get mixed with service rounds. Never seen it on a 12pr, whats the case length and does it have the 3 cut outs? 2pr

Posible Blank
Have a look at post number 2 as this shows the cutouts that 2Pr refers to.

I also agree that your case is very likely to be a "Blank" with the "Knurled" rim-I used to have one with the same rim and it was stencilled "Blank" and also had no cutouts on the neck.
Nice case!
