Today was a good day

[Slick]

Had quite a treat meeting face-to-face. The first fellow collector to make the pilgrimage to the OrdHut. He brought a bunch and left with some goodies of his liking. Some of this was just for viewing, with the bigger items left for future disposition. An awesome assortment. Here are some pics. I'll be posting specific items for ID in the near future.

Very nice Rick, some fantastic items in there. Pic 5 has to be my personal favorite, is the second round down a genuine projectile as i have not seen one like that before or paper work showing it, any chance of a close up photo please. The German 3cm Mk108 rounds look great as well, Thank you for showing them, i look forward to seeing them in more detail on here in the near future.
Best regards Weasel.

Weasel,

Yes. Some sort of experimental. When that box was opened, it caught my eye as well. I thought it was a fantasy projectile.

 

[Jolly Green]

Wow. And I thought I had a problem.

 

[Slick]

Wow. And I thought I had a problem.

And I'm trying to unload! Not working. At all.

 

[HAZORD]

Well if you didn't think it was a good day, I would pronounce you insane! Quite a haul!

A couple of questions marked X, re images. Amazing haul - well done !

The 1st pic is a cut down 75mm projectile with fuze installed. Somebody was bored and made this. Sorta neat.
The 2nd one, I don't know.
Talk about overwhelmed. There were probably 10 boxes full of an amazing assortment. Sadly, those went back in the trailer and are headed to their new home.

You done well there. A haul like that in Australia would only be a dream.

Yes Slick, yesterday was a good day. My Wife, Me and my Miniture Mountain Lyons had a blast at your place yesterday! When I walked into the OrdHut, I just about lost my breath. I have been anointed! :angel:

Hi Slick,Fantastic collection of goodies there,well done,thanks for shopwing,
Regards,
Don,
ps,how do I get drool out of my keyboard, LoL,

 

[Gspragge]

Are there any markings on it ? It has the look of a British 1 1/2 Pdr (the case, not the projectile) or a between the wars U.S. prototype for the 37mm auto cannon, more likely the latter but just a guess. Others will know.

 

[Slick]

Hey Gordon

JR might be able to dig it out and give you some details.

There has been some discussion about this round.
I just got my internet back up. I'll dig the round out and send some pics tomorrow.

What a nice mound of goodies. They look like to overwhelm my last 12-14 years total of collecting!! I, too, am interested in the round that Gordon has marked. You sure buy in volume! I can imagine the person who was hauling all this must have been driving very carefully. If stopped by the police, this would have been headkines on CNN!
