Thanks for the foto. I didnot realise that the 6 Pdr ''survived'' WWII and was also used later on. I believe you even got some of the US versions. Do you have drawings or official names of it??

Regards

Here are my 2 6pr practice rounds that my father retrived from the Canadian army in WW II. They are Canadian made and I have info on the shot and shell makers but would like to know who made the cardboard containers if you can help.
