1942 Dated 3pr Round

[Weasel]

Hi All,
I bought a WW2 dated and rebanded 3pr projectile from Falcon a while ago and was content in the knowledge that it would serve as a paper weight as the chance of getting a WW2 dated case was not very likely.
I was recently lucky enough to find one for sale while not expecting to and just noticed the headstamp was a 1940's date, i am really happy to have completed this round, just goes to show that these things are out there.
I was going to repaint the projectile, can anyone tell me the correct colour for these practice projectiles, Best regards Weasel.

Here is a photo of my projectile that was painted by a BOCN member. The markings were copied from an original example that still had enough original paint to be able to see them.

The red band and "T" were added later as the original did not have these. However it is correct to add them as the projectile is threaded for a tracer.

The yellow band is 10mm wide, 22mm up from the driving band, The red band is 6mm wide, 65mm up from the driving band.

Best Weasel.
