76 mm / 62 Dummy Round

[Andy Naude]

Just received this 76 mm / 62 Dummy Round. I am not sure if this a locally made Drill. It does not look as if it was made in in a factory. The rear section has been machined out and replaced with a ferrous filling. The nose fuse is solid aluminium and can unscrew. The projectile is very well seated in the case

There are no markings on the case or projectile.

Any comments are welcome.

Just checked the weight. 12,4 kg. Who ever made it certainly tried to match the weight to the real thing.
