3pr Practice projectiles

[Gspragge]

Nothing scarse or unusual but I just came across the example with the flat tip.
My other one dated 1918 has a point. The markings are poor due to some
abuse. I'm sort of assuming that the blunt on is more likely ww2 in era ?
I don't think the few markings visible will help much.
I dragged the ruined casing out of my vehicle and it's dated 1940, it's rubbish due to
horrible abuse. Now I'll have to watch out for another one.

A lot of 3 pounder rounds like this were found in the crane baslist find about ten years ago but with the copper driving band removed, still havent done mine yet even though the copper band is cut for welding, got to make the swaging dies for this and find a WW2 3 pounder naval case.
