Although there are numerous threads on 17pr ammunition I can't find one specifically regarding paint markings.
I have this projectile which is stamped 17pr & 77mm and dated 1944 but has four white rings painted on the tip and around the body instead of the typical markings. The paint looks totally original. Does anyone have any information as to their significance? TIA
