A challenge

[smle2009]

Ok, a bit of a challenge here to all members!

What is the your most favorite piece in your collection? no groups or 2nd/3rd choices and no this or this(if you do it means you are boring) and ordnance only please
You know the one piece you would keep if,god forbid, you had to sell off your collection!

I was in this position a few days ago and had to seriously consider selling up(panic over now and sorted) and just could not decide which one piece I would keep,mind you the unopend box of .303" MkIII ball was a close contender.


Cheers
Tony

That's a tough one. I suppose if I had to pick just one as a souvenir of my collecting days, it would have to be one with which I have some personal connection. There are a couple of those, but my choice would be the 6.5x25 CBJ saboted ball round. It was given to me by the designer when I visited him in Sweden, during which visit I fired off quite a few of those rounds in a couple of different weapons, one of them being a modified B&T MP9 PDW. The sigificance of that is that he had got the idea to convert that gun to fire his cartridge after reading one of my web articles in which I suggested it could be a good combination - and it is!

Here is an odd one,years ago (in the 70s)when I first started in aviation archeology,I located a P47C that had crashed near Atcham airfield,during the recovery I found a .05 case with the head stamp DM 42,which were my initials and year of birth,from then I started collecting ordnance as well as lumps of aircraft,

It would have to be my MkI Buckingham incendiary, it's not it's value it was because of how I got it. Not many people left in this world like the man I bought it from.
