I wish I could say I knew what the milled out channel on the projectile meant, but I can't. I find it interesting that the projectile appears to be not painted, but does have stenciling. Nice specimen.

Looks like the remains of purple paint on the projectile ...?

Looking closer, you may be correct! If so, it would be a High Pressure Proof Test projo.
