    Thumbs up More of the unusual !

    Hi Bloome in my book this one is even rarer as Phosphorus is not something to meddle with and the easy option is to destroy it !

    You have quite a few really nice items in your collection and unusual too.

    It is very rare to see exploders or smoke containers as the exploders certainly are always the first things to be removed and destroyed.

    Thank you for sharing these items with us

    I think these came out of a 25pdr .The projectile they were found in had no fuze which is why one of them is partially rotted away
