This was shown some time ago but I now
have it here. As discussed it is not a factory
sectioning but perhaps a depot a workshop example.
It was mounted at one time on a board so at least it's old and of the period.
Something I think that is a challenge to find with newer examples
being made now and then here and there, which will become problematic
when down the road after a few owners become offered as original and old
unless marked or dated in some way. Which is why I usually avoid them
and have just this and two ww1 fuzes.
This projectile was missing the band so I scavenged one from a nickel plated
no name MKll. With a hose clamp and crazy glue I squeezed it as best I could.
These will never fit the same without a proper press, but as the original had been loose
and gotten lost this is likely no worse.
