I'll say money well spent. That round is just awesome. Something about the wooden drill rounds do it for me. Well done and thanks for sharing....Dano
Thought I would share some pics of my 2 pounder drill round. I got this 28 years ago when i was 13, HELL how time flies!! I got it for £5 all the money i had at the time. shame as the junk shop had 2 a pair would have looked good, but I still think it's ace, so money well spent. I've never seen another one, so are they rare?

Hi Mark
they are a bit rare they tend to stay in colections and not get sold too often the last one i spoted for sale was about three months ago at £40 it was cheap at that price and not as good as yours.

Yeah, just gotta love the wooden ones.......years ago I was fortunate enough to have a wooden (with some metal bits) 3.7" AA drill round! Now that was a BIG round.
Sorry no pics - just memories.......

Thanks Andy it's a shame I never got the other one!
Hell Drew a 3.7 AA thats a big wooden drill round, I've got a 3.7 AA case but never been able to find the projectile to go in it.
It's a pity you are not closer as I just sold mine one last year........
Actually there was a recent auction in Sydney and a 3.7" case was sold - haven't seen one those in years....
(not sure how much as I only bidding on the Japanese swords)
