This a very rare to find British brass shell case fired by the Quick firing 2.95-inch mountain gun, vickers 75 mm calibre gun.The case still retains some of its brass colour lovely and clean but does have some discolor in places but nothing to bad the neck has a bit of damage. The case is complete also with its primer, on the bottom complete with its original markings and is dated 1906 and is empty and inert. The case was bought home as a souvenir by a British soldier who fought in the African theatre in World War 1 .The case comes with A5 laminated information card with pictures.
The quick firing 2.95 inch was a 75 mm calibre light artillery piece designed by Vickers, sons and maxim in 1897, primarily for the Egyptian Army, and adopted by British colonial forces (West African Frontier Force) and the US Army.
