Is this Canadian?

I picked up this WWI British 18 pounder in Ypres a couple of months ago. I think I noticed it is Canadian marked on the fuse. Is it Canadian? Vaughn

Could we see some pics of the base markings? (on the casing).

It really doesn't matter, as the projectile was dug and then stuck together with the casing. Here is the bottom of the shell. Vaughn

It's not Canadian, but British, made by the Gramophone Co. The symbol looks like a shark in a pond with 'G' and 'C' at each side!

I think you had asked this question before in the projectiles section. I think there is a C Broad arrow mark on the fuze that would indicate a Canadian government acceptance. Is there a manufacturers mark on the fuze ?
