Hi all.

With reference to the picture below can any ID this WW1 two pounder? Its overall height is 284mm. Its case lenght is 156mm. On the base is stamped '2Pr I-III GUNS & 9.5 IN' plus usual markings. And why no point to the projectile?

The 9.5 IN marking means that the 2 Pounder cartridge case was also used for the blank charge for the 9.5 IN depth charge thrower.

Sorry I can't help you on the projectile.
 
Projectile should be marked with type and date but I suspect yours has some corrosion under the nearly new shinny paint and it could be a WWII practice. might be worth diong a search on 2pr etc on this site.
