I realise there have been several threads concerning legal issues, but I have here a specific question.
I have seen German WW2 aircraft rounds for sale at various fairs but avoided buying them for the reason that I cannot inspect them completely. Yes, the fuze unscrews, so I can see the projectile and the fuze are empty. Yes, the thing rattles, so there's no propellant in the case. BUT the projectile is firmly fixed to the case, so I cannot inspect the tail of the projectile for tracer compound, nor can I inspect the primer. Are these things OK to buy for safety and legally (without a firearms certificate)? It would be nice to have views from the Police and Army as well as dealers, if possible.
Thanks.
Tony.
