That will do some damage. Nice!
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Is the fuse easy to open on the top ? As you say its been fired just hope it wasn't a misfire
The copper driving band shows that the projectile has passed through a barrel, and the fact that the fuse is intact suggests that at least this bit has never hit anything solid. Weight the shell and then find out what a full one should weigh. If your example is much less you have nothing to worry about!
This is a smoke shell, there should be a plate on the bottom . High explosive shells have a solid base and are painted buff yellow, they also have an impact fuse. Nice projectile for sure
