Hello,
I am completely new to collecting projectiles and have just received my very first purchase. I do not have a clue as to its origin or age, and was hoping some of the experts here could help me get started by ID'ing it !!!
It has a mass of 8.8kg (19.4lbs), is 230mm (9 inches) long, and around 86mm (3.4 inches) in diameter. It appears to be completely solid, except for a shallow cavity in the base (is this where a tracer compound went ?).
Also, can anyone recommend the best books & websites for projectile collecting ?
Any suggestions would be most gratefully received. Thanks.
Justin.
