Why wouldn’t a thin-walled brass shell like that have suffered more corrosion than it has having been subjected to the highly corrosive effects of salt water? I would expect to see a more jagged edge of the mouth of the shell...
Perhaps dropped by someone shooting black powder & brass shells more recently like some of us do today...?
