it looks like Mitrella blanda Sowerby,I., 1844. from Collumbellidae family. not sure of it, the size you mention  is much larger than a common blanda.

                              THANK YOU DIOCRIS !
                        I think your right.
                                The dark spot on the shoulder of the body whorl looks very characteristic.
                                        Yes the size is big, but why not ?          Maybe a WS record...
                                                    Happy shelling
