I just thought I would post a pic of this guy I picked up a few weeks ago. It was the last use of the 37mm in the U.S. arsenal. It went to a the six barreled T-250 gun system of which only a dozen or so were made in the late 50's..

Interesting how long the projectile is compared to the short cartridge !
It's like 1:1 ratio. Were there several, or just the one where you got it?
