Mystery Shell Casing - ID?

[ojdenni]

Hi all, someone messaged me recently asking whether I could make a shell for their casing, however I'm not 100% sure which casing this is

Photos attached, hopefully someone knows

It looks like a 4.5" Mk 8 case

4.5 in Surface-Use Practice N7A2 shown in Jane's Ammunition Handbook (I'm looking at 1995-96 edition, edited by Terry Gander & Ian Hogg).
Described as "Intended for practice firing against surface targets this projectile has the same body as the HE round but filled with an inert material and a nose plug representing a fuze. Known as SUP."

I'm confident I have a proj. in storage - can look tomorrow and photograph, then try to attach.

Hope this helps.

Yup 4.5 Naval.. Case made by Birtley, Tyne & Weir filled in Glascoed, Welsh Wales ( who also made the electric primer...)

(I have one by my desk full of walking sticks...)
