This is a projectile with interesting markings (i think).
The copper seems to have been deposited from the many-times-recycled phosphoric acid that i use to clean copper, brass and steel. It was very rusty when i got it.
The markings read:-
???-4-64 1955 HEP-T 105MM T139E?5 106MM
Is it normal to stamp both 105 & 106mm?
I realise that before the "106mm" there was the 105mm RCL but imagine that was still in the experimental stage(?).
The site has reshuffled my photos so that they are in a different order. One of them shows 1 of the 2 indexing buttons.
Can anyone throw some light on this?
And would this have been painted blue?
Thanks very much, Charley
