USN 3in MK5 WW2

[Dunkbfg]

Any clue what projectile or shell goes into this, and what gun fired it? Also the length would be useful as I'm not sure if it is cut down....



Any information appreciated.

Duncan.

Thanks for the information - happy mine don't appear to be cut down, just a short case. Now have the fun task of tracking down a projectile!

I have seen a few over the years on Gun Broker.

Can anyone identify what WS and KTC stand for?

Maybe Kingham Trailer Co and the WS the inspector's initials??
