HONOURED MEMBER RIP
I picked this up yesterday (and it does require some picking up!).
A full crate of 160 rounds of .55 Boys W Mark II armour piercing made by K2 in 1942.
This was part of a large amount of .55 Boys ammo that came back from Portuguese Macao about thirty years ago (and incidentally contained the first .55 Boys made by Radway Green that had been seen on the collector market). If you look at the close up of the small white label you will see it says at the bottom "COMANDO MILITAR DE MA..." which originally said "MACAO".
The ammo is in chargers in 10 round bandoliers. The Label is number H960 which I have just added to the list on my website.
...and before anyone starts worrying, it is all entered on my Section 5!
Regards
TonyE
