hello all , can anyone identify any of this lot ? the large chunk of steel / iron has a brass tag one inch diameter ,unfortunately no letters or numbers, it is approx 50mm thick and has an internal diameter of approx 170mm , ext dia 270mm.
thanks regards Ian

not a positive id,,but the tag is actually a stud from an early artillery studded shell,i think these were used from mid 1800s to very early 1900s and replaced by the more commonly seen driving band you have on projectiles

attatched image shows the studs on a 9pdr i had,,this type of projectile came in many sizes and was used by many different countrys
