Looks to me like a 120mm BAT projectile rather than a 105mm

Well I took a guess at the size as it could of been either without anything to give it scale. I reckon your right though. I see it has been taken off now.
Best regards Weasel

I sent him a message asking what the markings on it were and got the following back...

"Sorry, just found out it's Live....had to call the police etc....taking it off ebay."

He had this up for sale about 2 years ago and I advised him that it was possibly live. Seems he thought to have another try.

Had a follow up message from him.

"

Hi, Called the police, had the place swarming with them...Then the Bomb Disposal guys came and took it away, Quite an exciting time, as there are only six houses where I live, all of them had to be evacuated. Oh, well, gave some excitement to a rather rural community..."
