INERT DEACTIVATED. This is a rare and original British Boer War period 1900 dated shrapnel shell fired by a British 15 pounder breach loading field gun.

These guns remained in service until the introduction of the 18 pounder field gun in 1904. The fired shrapnel projectile is stamped on the side 09/1900 (September 1900 date) and 8/8/00 (August 1900). The base of the projectile is stamped 15Pr V (15pr mark 5). F S (Forged Steel).
