Hi Smoking27,
not my area but I think you have British 2pdr(pounder) made by Vickers sowing machine company,try a search on 2pdr and you should get a lot more info.

VSM is Vickers Sons & Maxim.

Do you have the complete case or just the head of the case?

This is for the 2.95" Mountain Gun, not the 2-Pdr (which is 40mm calibre). I have a case with a similar 2P_. mark, but I have no idea of its significance.

Regards,
Roger.
