Hello TimG,

Many thanks for your indepth reply to my questions. Regarding the letters EB, I once also found these letters on a 40mm marine shell and the letters EB would stand for Eley Brothers Ltd London. Would you know anything about this?

I'll wait for the feedback regarding CCS.

Regards,

Jf
