Got a 12pr practice shot like I've never seen before in that its stampings are on the side not base and its pointed not the usual flat tip. also the unfired driving band has been corroded and has pit marks in places, again never seen a corroded band that bad before. cant read the date on it,
 
taken a photo of markings talc'ed to show up Think cast iron is hard to stamp clearly but never tried it.DSCF3356.jpg
