    Very nice Ben! Do you have any photos of them side by side, so we can see the details of each projectile?

    Hey Ben,

    "NICE" stuff!!

    Actually I have never seen a complete 13pdr round - and here're two of them!!!

    Well I guess you don't need a "gym membership" do you?

    (yeah bench press that 9.2" monster! Ouch, I'm having a hernia thinking about it! LOL)

    Cheers

    Thanks for all the comments :-)

    hi Hazord, I haven't taken any individual
    pics just the group photo. If there's anything in particular you would like photographed I'll oblige.


    BIG thanks Lee, they are brilliant and look great with all my others.

    Nice Collection

    Hi Ben,
    That's a great collection, how long has it taken you to get that much together ?
    Some really nice looking rounds in there, what are you after next, time to start building the extension to house this lot.
    Best regards Weasel.

    That's the worrying bit, Ive only really been collecting for 7 or 8 months, and that's not all my
    collection
