Can't find one like it

I believe Paul is correct that this is a <i>Marginella</i> and probably an unnamed <i>Gibberula </i>similar to <i>Gibberula lavalleeana</i>.  As Paul indicated your shell is very damaged missing a large part of the body whorl.

Sorry, but this is the only picture of your probably shell that I have.  The animal is still inside and covers the columella plaits visible in your shell.
