A long time ago, I found a casing that then resided in my jewelry box. We are talking 1966, so that was, indeed a long time ago. I was diving at a WWII battle site in the Pacific and found lots of casings, most of which were US issue. But one, which appears to be a .303 type round, was unusual. It was more or less encrusted with algae and some coral growth, which I gently removed.

The headstamp says, K36 on top and VII on the bottom. The center-fire firing pin was an oval, which, of course, set off the primer. Can anyone tell me anything about it?

Thanks<
