Found this in my collection of junk and have no idea what it is but appears to be cartridge of some sort. Marked on the head
T.S. "V" in a circle "A" in a circle 1915 and PE
very odd

It houses the 'triggering charge' that sets off the main charge when the lanyard is pulled.
When the breech is open, it is directly in front of
the lanyard-puller (or it should be-get back to where you belong!)
Now, the puller, while the 'hired help' is loading,
is placing the triggering charge into the tiny breech block,
and placing the small breech block back into the center of
the breech..by that time, the load is finished, and he can
lock the breech, and fire.
Sort of a choreography, in the abstract, when the
load is done quickly, and efficiently.
As always, I may be off, but my gut is rumbling..

But truly my gut says 45-70.
A clearer picture of the head would be nice.
Just my 2?
