Product Description
Â
The 1912-dated Royal Navy 4.5 Mk1 brass cartridge case is a historically significant artifact from the early 20th century, marking a period of naval innovation and global tension. Measuring approximately 40 cm in length, this robust brass casing was used in conjunction with the 4.5-inch naval gun, a mainstay in British naval artillery during World War I. The cartridge case is cylindrical, with a wide base and a slightly tapered neck, designed to house the propellant charge that would fire the shell.
The brass material, chosen for its durability and resistance to corrosion, has developed a patina over the years, giving it an authentic vintage appearance. The base of the cartridge case is stamped with key identifying marks, including the Royal Navy's broad arrow insignia with the letter N underneath., The model designation "4.5 Mk1," and the year "1912," indicating its production date. These stamps serve as a testament to the case's origin and use during a crucial time in British naval history. This cartridge case is not only a relic of military technology but also a piece of naval heritage, reflecting the craftsmanship and industrial capabilities of the era.
