25 pounder Drill case with Drill charge bags

[Andy Naude]

How lucky can you get. This item has always been on my whish list. Then, out of the blue, I receive three 25 pounder Drill Cases. Complete with three charge bags each and the closing cap.











It would appear as if these have seen little or no use.

Well done Andy, fantastic stroke of luck. Were they in SA?

Hi George,

Yes right here is SA.

It would appear the cases were of Canadian manufacture - CL/C - Canadian Motor & Lamp Co., Most, if not all of their 25Pr cases were recalled. The story goes that one of their examiners didn't understand his role and passed every case presented to him regardless of quality. At least two of your cases bear 'condemned' stamps (two arrows tip to tip within a circle).

I have two of these sets for trading if anyone is interested.

I collect Large caliber Drill rounds.

I would love to lay my hands on an 18 pounder Drill.
