Cardboard ordnance shipping tube 1943.

I picked this up recently but as yet I haven’t been able to firmly ID it. I am assuming it is British rather than American. Can my fellow forum collectors give me any further information please?



The dimensions are 40cm tall and 12cm diameter. Here is a close up of the legend on the side.



Thank you for your interest.

I can’t find my copy of “firing now” by dick Taylor but if I do I am sure this will be in that book

Thank you JB that sounds like a useful book.

I think this maybe aircraft bomb related. Searching No28 certainly comes up with tails and fuzes for bombs

That's interesting JB, it isn't a large tube. Not the sort of thing that usually survives.
