I haven't seen one of these before, a proof round for a 6 pounder anti tank gun, according to the video.

I have one here as well and a couple of 6Pdr common. His is the 6Pdr 7Cwt like mine. U.S. name was what, 57mm?
Here's a site with more, you can find confirmation way down in the pics. Good site... 45 to 70mm Ammo

Yes it is an interesting site, thanks, Jim.Originally Posted by browningautorifle
There is a surprising amount of live artillery here in Texas mostly German. An associate of mine has a live 7.5 cm PAK 40, another gentleman has a live 8.8cm FLAK 36-18, and a local museum has a Hetzer with a live 7.5cm PAK 39 L48.
A few years ago there was someone trying to sell what appeared from the images posted ground dug, relic, live rifle rounds on a well known online auction site. I did report the listing several times to the site but the listing remained up. It may well have been a case of the people at the site having no idea of what had been listed but you would have thought that they would find out if they didn't know, since it had been reported to them, and then take appropriate action.Originally Posted by browningautorifle
An acquaintance of mine who served on the Saskatchewan gave me as a gift the spent casings for the Mk10 Limbo ASW mortar and the 3"/70 Mk6 Vickers main guns. Unfortunately they were part of the grand sell off before my move to Texas.Originally Posted by browningautorifle
