The only listing that I have for LH is;
Long & Hambley.
Rubber goods manufacturers
51 Highgate Hill. N19.
� Longhamb, Holway � : ARChway 1191 (3 lines)
which I initially thought was incorrect, however further research shows that they 'manufactured' drill cartridges. From what you remember of the case is it possible that it was converted from fired to drill?

I still have the case, it is a normal fired 2 Pounder case.
I'm sure I was told before that the K on the bottom left was for Kynoch, for one I didn't think Kynoch manufactured any cases that big, and secondly it is a strage place for a maker's mark on a British shell case.

Falcon, I have seen several British cases, in various calibres, with a K in that position and nothing in the "normal" 3-o'clock position, and I have always believed them to be Kynoch made. As they made cases for small-arms and cannon ammo, why would they not make the larger calibres in war-time?
