Another "what is it""????????
Started to bring home some of the lighter bits and pieces of horizontal mill ( maybe a pallas)
the dear old lady gave me this thing that she insisted was part of it
ive go no idea what it is
about 190 mm long hollow but inside takes the same shape as the outside
a bakelite plug (big plug has 1944 T EWT 1.6 no 1 IE stamped on it)IMG_0263.JPGIMG_0260.JPGIMG_0264.JPGIMG_0265.JPGIMG_0266.JPG both ends the small end is left hand thread
a copper band at about the bottom of the hollowed out section.
the lettering stamped on it

Looks like an artillery shell, with the copper driving band... what calibre mill was it from?

My guess would be 57mm, the markings suggest it's a 6 pounder 7cwt anti-tank projectile (Ordnance QF 6-pounder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Hi,
I reckon it's the fuse from the actual round. Interesting to have.
