Hi Dreamphoto, very interesting case headstamps, the 18pdr I and 13pr I are both much more scarce than the Mk II versions of each, but your 18pr II has a very interesting manufacturer's stamp -Crosby Company in Buffalo, New York State. It's the first one I've seen from them. The 18pr I case was made in Woolwich Arsenal and the 13pr I case made by the King's Norton Metal Company Ltd in Birmingham.
Regards, Trevor

Very nice headstamps, the early 13 and 18 Pounders are not even common in the UK.

Thank you for identification and I`m pleased if this stamps on case means some one who work on history of British artillery !
