litle beast ( 14" projectile)

Hi all, I want to show you this litle beast and ask a few questions. We have this projectile in our collection, it is a 14" shell, It should be a practice, can any one confirm this, who has more information and possible drawings of this and at last the markings. Thanks for any help.

Practice or APCBC ?

Hi blu97 that looks more like an APCBC with a "Hit" Flash charge in the windshield hence the screw for the fuze at the top ?

Lovely item, should you need to get rid of it just let us now :wink:

Well it has only one cap and the projectile is solid, and as you see on the drawing the projectile itself has a flat top.
