Franco prussian war era french stud shell ( I only happen to know this as I saw another a long time ago that was in much better condition that was a...

The dark band is more likely to have been green (amatol fill), where the pigments have deteriorated over the years.

Thanks for posting that image, but as Millsman says, it is June 1916. Gibbons seemed to use that design from at least January 1916, as per image...

Hi EnfieldMills, Thanks very much for your reply. Very helpful indeed! There are an awful lot that I listed in my first post which I've never...

It looks like it might be French to me. Armstrong shells had 3 rows of studs.

Good evening, Normal, it's only the front page ! I found the book online. Sadly I didn't recorded where but if you're interested, I can upload it...

Hello, I only see the front page. Can I send you a PM? Greetings - Antoon

Have no idea what studs are made of appears to be around 60/75mm in diameter. I noticed your avatar looks just like it.

I've got one of those. It's June 1916.

This brand is particularly tasty :pepsi:

What Diameter is it? What are the studs made from? Any markings on the studs?

We had legions of youth eating Tide Pods, so it seems kind of tame in comparison.

Some idiot is bound to have tried it ....

And the nose fuze should be a (AN-)M103 series. And that is also not correct.

I have this one (Q.F. 25-pr guns Marks I and II) Cheers, S.

I have this one but I assume its June 1916. Hard to read. Could be 1915??

From "Inter-Service Ammunition and Ammunition Package Markings", "Amendments No. 2", 1948.

Yes but as far as I know, not exactly same caliber between 15pr and 2.95in and 2.95in shell is fitted with a crimp groove for the case (not on 15pr...

Roger, Could it just be that it's been made up by someone from errant bits that were available/to hand at the time? And I don't mean during WWII,...
