Stokes restoration project #2 starting. This time a round with pistol fuze. #1 was done here (wrong category, I know). ;-)

Well, project finished (the right one with pistol fuze). I noticed that this round is a bit longer than the other one. The left one is stamped on the top plate "IV", so I think its a Mk. IV round and stencilled it like that. The other one has no visible markings, so the "Mk. I" is a guess.
