I recently got an 18 Pounder case that I believe to be Canadian. It is also interesting as it has an "N" stamped near the calibre marking, indicating naval use. It is also interesting isn that it has the full date (15th July 1916). I also have a canadian 2 Pounder case with the full date.
The headstamp is:
12 O'Clock:
18 PR. N
II
3 O'Clock:
M.A.C.
237P
6 O'Clock
1916
9 O'Clock: (writing is tilted at 90 degrees to rest of H/S.
B_A
15 7 16
/|\ in "C"
Who was "M.A.C."? and what was the 18 Pounder used for in Naval Terms?
Any info would be helpful.
