    I never really knew what it was till I got home then realised without the .303 case it would laid there for a long time, the condition of it is remarkable considering what its meant to do, all the threads in tact even has some sealant still on them and the green band.

    Do you refer to the caps pictured? They go over the fuze of a 3" mortar. They're pot metal so they'll never rust to the steel of a bomb.
