The photo shows a 2 pounder littlejohn.....with a difference. Its been turned out of a solid piece of metal except for the tracer which is fitted separately (the tracer being a metal tube and not of the correct tracer profile).
There is no stamping.
I am well aware that this is not a service projectile.
My query is what is it for? The "projectile" is well made and is the same profile as a real mk 1 littlejohn. My first impression is it was made to replicate a real one but it is obviously very old so is in my opinion unlikely to be made to complete a collection (until a real one came along).
Is is possibly a manufacturers model made to show the profile of the round prior the expensive production techniques required of a service projectile?
