Hi Guys,
Was at a gun show today and picked up these two neet shells. I dont normally collect this type of ordnance,but I couldnt turn down the price. I really dont know much about them.
Case head on the 3pdr is marked,,,W.N.Y.8-1901 3Pdr E.H.C.L. "an anchor" A.T.C.
The projectile is marked on the driving band JPM with two anchors and a really small star stamped into the steel. Also has a base plug,brass with an N anchor F.
The 6Pdr is case head stamped W.H.Y 11-1904 6-Pdr E.C.P naval anchor S.P.F The projectile is wooden,painted and looks very old.
Neet stuff huh?
Any one interested,you know what to do.......
