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

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

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

There is a surprising amount of live artillery here in Texas mostly German icon

. 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.

I have no grief with a man owning arty. There's a live 25Pdr in Calgary on a front lawn. Most really have no idea what it is. I have the ordnance, no cannon though.

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.

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.

I can't seem to find a Limbo case although I have two Squid cases. I also have a 3"50 complete that I just found. I missed a complete 3"70 round by a few days.
