Well, after a really LONG drought when it comes to ordnance...finally scored some good stuff this weekend at the Syracuse Gunshow.

First a British 4.7" (4.72"?) QF case, dated 4-98. It has a very large headstamp which I question whether its original, or put there after manufacturing...regardless, to me, a cool case I have never seen before. What are the chances of finding a projectile???

Next a run of the mill 75mm M18 Sherman case...but one I was lacking since I sold off my complete Sherman round back in the heyday of eBay ordnance sales and got STUPID money for it....

Then finally for this post...the piece de resistance....a 120mm T25 tank case, 1954 dated...I thought this was a Stratoflak case, until I did some quick research here...it is impressive to say the least!
