U.S. 4.2 mortar rounds

Here are a couple of 4.2 rounds that I recently picked up. The CG (phosgene) is an untouched original and the H GAS (mustard gas) has been steel shot peened and given a new coat of paint and stenciling (professionally done at an ordnance facility many years ago) not a collector repaint. The person I got them from has had them since the early 70's. Pat

Very nice. I see the inert markings, are they empty, or inert filled?

They are filled with some form of inert liquid which can be heard and felt when they are handled. Pat
