The one next to the Bofors is a 105mm Squash Head Practice round, the blue one below is a 120-mm CHARM 3 (Challenger Armaments 3)
Fin Stabilised Discarding Sabot practice round and the very last one with the fins is a rare early version of a fin stabilised artillery round and is around 90-mm calibre. The Boffors are a nice pair, the one on left of the picture is a drill while the other a mint 1943 dated High Explosive. I love cannon rounds in particular. Regards, Tim.

Tim, that 105mm Squash Head Practice Round looks heavy. How much does it weigh (roughly) ?
Cheers, Simon.

Hi Simon, Its not too bad weight wise and id say at a very rough guess around 20-25lbs. It was for use in post WW2 105-mm Tank guns. Its a fired round minus its driving band. Regards, Tim.
