I shall probably reinvestigate then. I think it’s about £25. One thing I did notice is that it doesn’t appear to have suffered the attentions of metal polish.
I don't know about your side of the pond, but they are hard to get over here. The closest I've come to one is a Naval (Mle 02?) made in 1910 which has the same dimensions. As Steve said, I'd buy it!! Cheers, Bruce.
The Soviet 45mm may be more common, but I don't know if they are THAT common. For that price, I would have snatched both up if they were here in the States.
I went back and bought the French case today. It said £23 on the price tag, but for some reason this turned into £21 at the till. (Grumble I did not) The neck wasn’t quite straight, but an unpainted 3pr practice shot used as a mandrel has cured it.
An exciting feature is that the base stencils are still just visible. They appear to read:
F.C.P . 1 . 12-1-39
And then:
BG4-18-37-5
Are there any hardcore French ordnance specialists out there who could translate?
