9.2 inch ap
Hi Lee' you have some nice items in your collection especially that 9.2 inch AP-pity about the driving band.
A suggestion for something of that size may be to use a car body filler and machine it down to the original profile if you can find someone who has a Lathe large enough to take it, not forgetting the muscle power required to lift onto said machine :help:
Just a thought as I reckon it would be worth the bother as you do not see many of these size projectiles around never mind in someones private collection.
