Well, a long time ago, I posted this thred...

And I finally found the other half...
Found this in an out of the way gunshop whose owner has collected a bunch of ordnance over 40 years from customers and friends...
I saw it last Tuesday, but the owner wasn't there to talk to, so I went back Saturday morning. Met him and talked to him about the case, he said he didn't normally get rid of the ordnance stuff, I showed him a pic of the projectile I had, and told him I had been chasing this case for sometime, and we continued to look at the other ordnance. I filled him in on everything, as he didn't really know much about it all, and we enjoyed going through it all. At the end he asked me what I would think about paying for it. I made an offer, he accepted, and said he decided to sell because it was going somewhere where it would be appreciated, and be joined with the projectile, so I was ecstatic.
A long time chasing this case, and they fit together like a glove...and it is one REALLY long round!
