Hi,
Would any members be able to identify this type of projectile :dry:
I have attached a picture of it next to a 2-pound flat head projectile and 40mm bofor projectile, so as to give some size comparison.
It is made of brass and measures across the bottom approximately 3cm x 4cm.
The bottom is more oval shaped then being totally round.
The full length is approximately 7?8cm, but as you can see the brass is blown on all examples.
There is a screw hole (8mm) on the side, which has the top of a screw in it.
When viewing from the bottom it looks like the outer layer of brass is a jacket, which is over laying the internal section. If you look at the picture, it shows what looks like two small pinholes on either side of the internal section.
The sectioned (exploded) piece has what looks like two steel balls (1cm) enclosed in the cavity.
These examples were found on a WW2 training site.
I?m just wondering if some WW1 ammunition may have been used, as well.
Cheers,
