Does anyone recognize the markings on this 37mm projectile? Can anyone also tell if this is even US ordnance, or when it might date from? Any help is appreciated!

AM- Do you have access to: A GUN FOPR ALL NATIONS The 37mm Gun & Ammunition? It is by Robert A. Mellichamp in two volumes. The dates are v.1 1870-1913 & v. 2 1914-1926. The set goes to about 1500 pages and I think your projectile would fit in this period. I had no idea there were that many different 37mm projectiles.

37mm were used by EVERYONE...so it could be anyone's...I will say, its unfired (unengraved driving band) and base fuzed, so its a filled AP. Just an FYI...
