Australian inter-war 18pdr case

[Darkman]

Just showing this nice 18pdr cart case I picked up recently. Inter-war years Mk III cases are rare enough, but this one is even more interesting not only because it is Australian made, but also because it is from our first year of 18pdr production in 1927. Note the low lot No. 1E.

The Australian Government purchased surplus 18pdr manufacturing machinery and tooling from the UK and production of complete rounds commenced in 1927 at the Colonial Ammunition Co. (CAC) factory in Maribyrnong, Melbourne - previously a privately owned factory purchased by the Government.
