The dart length is 129mm
Dart diameter 3.5mm
Weight 18.1g
The dart is some sort of tungsten alloy, heavy for its size and slighly magnetic.
Fin is aluminium or some sort of light weight metal, non magnetic
I've come across a few of the darts over the years (often for sale on ebay as well as shows) commonly described as "from the Apache" so I had always assumed that they were from a 70mm rocket (the flechette rack is roughly 65mm so would fit inside I assume).
British 70mm GP flechette L1A1 perhaps?
Just a comparison, the old with the new, same idea, different age.
