U.S. Navy One Pounder (37mm) Shell with Projectile . This has no gun-powder and the primer has been struck with a screw driver to set it off. It has been unloaded and would be considered “inert”. It stands 7 5/8” tall. Without the solid steel head, the brass shell is 4 15/16” tall. The head is 3 ½” tall and is hollow. Around it is a ¾” copper rifling band. This example has: “LOT 1075-2” and an ordnance “Flaming Bomb” logo, impressed into this copper band. The base of the head has; “37MM STEEL SHELL MK 1”, a maker’s id: “PE & MCO” and an ordnance “flaming bomb” logo.  The base of the brass shell has the following headstamps, the upper rocker; “W.N.Y.” with smaller “12-1902”.
