Unfired 6 pounder projectiles are hard to come by here as well, as are the cases. I have managed to scrape together a small collection over the years but only AP rounds, still after the elusive HE,...

That is a Beauty!
This is a shattered 6 pounder projectile I picked up. a good visual of why they went to the capped projectiles with the softer cap to absorb the initial impact, especially against German hard faced...
Nice! 6 pounder one of my favorites
Have not seen a April made one, mine is August. There was a T gewehr for sale at the gun show here a few years back but the price was astronomical.
Hello can anyone translate the handwritng in these notes. The writing is very neat but I cannot pick many words particularly in the first pic. I can see Zug which I think means train and MTW which...
Nice Fuze, very desirable and hard to find in these parts. There is still a gun on display in our town which was used to defend the ship yard during ww2. I would love to have a full 3.7 round as they...
agreed with CINDERSII looks like a 20 pounder possibly a H.E.S proof of propellant round a lot of these are on the collectors market.
The 199 fuze was made by Duly and Hansford , Carrington road Marrickville N.S.W. they were a Automotive and tool manufacturer under the Dufor brand. They manufactured munitions during ww2. I have...
WW2 1941 dated US contract 30.06 for the RAF and Australian made MF 1940 .303 mk7 special for the RAF
Thanks for the heads up Fred this is a quality repro would have fooled me
Nice variety of German cases, I like it, Nice find
nice smoke, 20 pounder is definitely somthing on my wish list as well
The 17 pounder is a beast, certainly on my wish list. cases are very hard to find in these parts and when they come up for sale they are very expensive
I think the straps are od3 the helmet has been sitting in grease and dirt making the long chinstrap look darker over time. the short strap is a lot lighter
Yes they have certainly been together a while the dried dirt and grease on the shell has the liner pattern in it
Picked up this early fixed bale McCord with a Hawley liner the other day, I have been after a Hawley liner for a while, its well worn but looks the part. The shell paint is very good with still a lot...
I believe it is Bridgeport Brass Co, from Bridgeport CT in the United state. I have the longer Sherman tank 75mm by the same maker and a couple of Hispano cases with the BBC headstamp. Nice cases by...
Most probably an AA the Pershing was only developed late war and only a handful saw service in 1945. there is the m36 tank destroyer which Had the 90mm gun not sure when that was first made. Still a...
I thought this as well, but I am pretty sure now its a modern 76mm. with the markings on the projectile
Yes I have a Aussie made (MF) 76mm case from the m113 apc just need to get a HE projectile
I have seen on another forum MMJ is belgium manufacture . Not sure if it was used by the British or Belgians as i believe they
both used the same gun.

OK more modern 76mm for the combat vehicle recon tracked. . Scorpion variant
75mm was used in the Grant/lee and the Sherman, the British also used it in various tanks like the Cromwell by modifying the 6 pounder guns, They preferred the 75mm over the 6 pounder as the high...
