The fuzeless projectile on left has diameter of 2.93 inches, fuze hole dia. of 1.65 in., and length of 6 1/8 in. No marks visible. It is cast with internal segments and has a separate compartment at the bottom, so maybe it was designed as a dual-purpose shell, for sharpnel or fragmentation. What is it please?
The item on right is more familar, a solid shot with many marks, British, certainly. Diameter 2.96 in., length 9 in. What gun(s) was this intended for? The marks on the base appear to be hand-chisled-why is that, are they production-line marks or did someone put on those marks later for some kind of identification?
Many photos are in this slideshow, for which the password "attack" must be entered.
