Hello,
As the subject suggest is this an early breech loading shell? It is about 3 1/2 high by 3 1/2 inches at the base. The base as you can see is concave and about 1/4-3/8 inch "deep". Grooves on each side are the same size. This is very similar to early shells I have seen in some books, but nothing to convince me 100% one way or the other.
Thanks in advance.
