I was very happy to find this 2 pounder No. 1 Pom Pom Drill round locally. Made of solid steel. Weight: approximately 1.7 kg. It looks in an almost unused condition as the rim and plastic / rubber primer are in a very good condition. To my knowledge none of the South African ships were fitted with these guns.

There are many marks of 2Pr Vickers Drill cartridges. Can anyone show a photo of the different ones side-by-side ?
I only have a Mk 11C & V111 Guns Mk V1 with no grooves in the case made by LCR. Also I note a Mk111 by KCM.
Can anyone identify the maker codes of LBA, LCR and KCM ? All seem British.
