War Head Identification help!!!!

[herrgeezer]

A friend of mine in Memphis, TN has sent me the following photographs of what he believes to be a V2 war head. I told him that I would post the pictures and ask for opinions based on the photo and measurements. The war head apprears to be made of brass, so I thought that it must be a traditional war head from a hugh railroad gun... I really don't know, but whatever this is it's BIG!

The first picture shows the measurements that he supplied me.

The second picture is the same as the first without the graphics.

Any help is appreciated.

the base

Looks like a shell for a naval gun to me.

Whatever it is, it's not a V-1 rocket head.

Can he give us a picture of the base of the projectile? It looks like the ballistic cap of a AP round from a naval rifle, but i need a little more info to be positive.
