Re: Brass collecting
Me too. I should be going to the club AGM and morning shoot - no chance - we don't have a road anymore, just a very wide footpath! :lol:pe4king wrote:This is turning into an epic now, see ovenpaa you have stirred up an ordnance related hornets nest
We will get to the bottom of this one way or another until at least I can actually find a purpose for my existance today :roll: so between the list of tasks I have been directed to carry out today from Mrs PE4 I shall endeavour to dig through the 25 or so ordnance ref cds the 2 are very similar the devil is in the detail as they say it looks like a 40mm (having dug up approx 20000 of the little mites in the past) but other things could also point to 2pdr which is 37mm.
I should really get myself a life as you can probably guess im not shooting this weekend :lol:
I shall be doing some more research, in between sledging and getting pelted with snowballs from my son! I might even go through my small collection of brass and see if there is anything worth posting. Maybe we should have a brass sub-forum?

Picked this one up years ago. I only recently found out what it was and who made it.

Re: Brass collecting
Correct in one.

I found a whole mag of these back in about '95 while doing a QRF ex on base. I pocketed a couple and handed the mag in. A short time later the XO wanted to see me, I gave him a run down of where I had found it etc, as I was leaving his office heard him say to the WOFF, "WTF are they doing here!"
He's another one for you.
