Mmmmmm very nice, thanks Charlie.
I do like 43 and 89, very scarce. What lot number is number 43 (I've only ever come across lots 1 to 5).

Hi Dave,
How goes it? 43 is lot no.1 . As far as i know there were only 5 lots produced, with HE and TP projectiles. I have no idea if the batches were projectile specific or not though.
 
Intersting note from looking at your photo of the HE above Ken, all the BAE show samples HE TP etc are all APSE factory painted to other ammunition types. e.g. 242 & 243 on page 14.
