My 18 pdr HE shell is finally complete

Thanks to this forum and in particular Gspragge and his contact, I now have a complete shell with a No101 fuse. I was also able to pick up a pristine, complete and never loaded No80 fuse from the same man (Who was very generous to part with these two fine items from his collection). Needless to say I am quite satisfied.

While I have my shell posted, I might as well share the base markings on the 18 pdr casing that I picked up in Brussels several years ago. Being a Canadian I was very excited to notice that this case is marked with a partial C broad arrow acceptance stamp...
