Good day one and all,

I've just cleaned up 2 x 6pdr and 1 x 18 pdr brass cases, picked them up in a charity shop at Longtown Nr Gretna the 6 pdrs appear to be from the same LOT (Twins) and you will see the base marking are very clear but still can be seen on the side of the casing are some faded stencil marks reading= RNP 1396 MK4 T L840Z1 40RS H.D.6 45 ( The Z could be a 2) .

The 18 pdr is 1915 and any info on this would be greatly received thank you.
