Some more additions to the collection the 25Pdr solid is missing the drive band a common thing post WWII as there was a world wide shortage of the stuff after the event so allot were cut off remelted into more productive stuff.
I will give it the once over paint it up in the usual semi flat black but before I put the etching on I will look for any marks.
The piece of paper came out of what I gather is the tracer tube in the base of the projectile I gather some one may have desired to see if it still had the stuff in there anyway its damned heavy will sit alongside the 25Pdr case & smoke projie I have.

The 12 Ga packets I just decided to add a few more cost more in postage than what they totaled all together.
I like the Holland & Holland one I have a green Rigby one which is quite nice also have an early Canuck one with the cartridge on the left side with the name above it.
No particular reason for getting them just thought I would increase the meager collection I have of the packets.
I am onto a couple of cases which I really want and will be a grand addition to my heavy stuff its not an 88mm but will see how it goes.......

303 cartridge for scale
