They have the design registration number records, there are three known applied to 37mm projectiles in 1900. It would be interesting to know who and what these designs pertain to regarding souveniring these I presume surplus 1 Pr projectiles. I suppose these could be under Trench Art, but they are certainly commercial products. The brass plate had an unmarked standard PD 1 Pr on it. the projectiles have three holes in the base to match the base and or pins.

I'm hoping to be there in a week's time - but I've got a great deal of my own research to do.
