Since posting my original message, I have managed to get these two British made ARWEN inert rounds. Note one has a commercial .44 magnum cartridge as a propellant.
Forgot to mention headstamps etc, the headstamp on the AR-1 round is:-
CFP T 11/93 003. and on the .44 magnum cart : W-W SUPER 44 REM MAG.
On the AR-5P round the headstamp is MON 10/86 T. There is no headstamp on this propelling cartridge which is steel in this case.
I acquired this Arwen CS round off a fellow BOCN member a few weeks ago ,can any tell me how many different loadings were made for the Arwen British and Canadian ?regards Dave
Nice item Dave, would look great with my other ARWEN rounds and batons Too !
There is a website for the current manufacturers of the weapon, will try and find it for you. There were lots of different loads available from non British sources, not quite so many of our own I think. Tony.
All the early Arwen rounds were fitted with primers that consisted of cut-down commercial Winchester .44 Magnum cases which were closed with a roll crimp. Later (British) ones utilised the specially made steel primer cups which i believe were made by Radway Green. Here is the Winchester type.
