British 3.7 Inch AA Shell Casing

[M8owner]

I just added this to the collection. Anyone have an extra projectile? Anyone need this to go with your projectile?

 

[2pounder]

even over here, and we used lots, the shells are hard to come by. good luck getting one.

I have been looking for a projectile for a while now. 2pounder is right that they are rare considering the number that must have been manufactured. I suppose most were fired.

The last one I saw for sale (I think on this site) was priced at 250.

 

[2pounder]

the only one I've ever seen for sale went for 200 in 1998!!!. It took me a while to get mine but they do turn up and not always that pricey.

Are there empty 3.7 inch casings littering the UK?

The cases aren't that rare, but they're not exactly common now. Most will have ended up as scrap metal between 1945 and today.

When I was in Malta this time last year there must have been half a dozen 3.7AA carts at the car boot sale I went to. Too heavy for my luggage allowance though.....
