Hi
here are some photos of my 2nd Traveling Plug For the Armstrong 12pdr Segment Projectile.
The plug may have fitted other size Armstrong projectiles as well.
Stamped with R Broad Arrow L, Letter W (Woolwich - im guessing)
There is one other mark/symbol on the plug however im unsure what it means.
These were used in NZ in the mid 1800's during the New Zealand Land Wars.
I havent been able to find too much about the plugs.
If anyone has a picture of the tool used to screw these in and out i would enjoy seeing it, better still if someone had a real one in there possession i would love to see photos of it.
