    ive go no idea what it is
    about 190 mm long hollow but inside takes the same shape as the outside
    a bakelite plug (big plug has 1944 T EWT 1.6 no 1 IE stamped on it)IMG_0263.JPGIMG_0260.JPGIMG_0264.JPGIMG_0265.JPGIMG_0266.JPG both ends the small end is left hand thread
    a copper band at about the bottom of the hollowed out section.

    Looks like an artillery shell, with the copper driving band... what calibre mill was it from?

    My guess would be 57mm, the markings suggest it's a 6 pounder 7cwt anti-tank projectile (Ordnance QF 6-pounder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
