I have two un banded 3 inch 20cwt projectiles practice shot, similar metal stamping but different lot number to a previous thread and marked QF after I/N. I could see an original red ring on the nose of each projectile faintly one higher than the other and a trace of white.
I was quite interested they are Naval practice shot as mentioned in anther thread. I have a Naval 2 pounder practice shot but the painted band is yellow and the stencilled N is white, I thought the 3 inch would be marked in yellow as well but the noses have red bands. These are not practice AP rounds for the Churchill. How would this 3inch 20cwt be marked up, black body red painted ring or white, would it have a large N stencilled on the side?
