Humm, must have been a "blue moon" on the w/end!

Hi All,

Here's a little gem that I picked up on the w/end:

WW1 2pr HE PomPom with a No 121 fuse!

Now this is the third one that I have come across in thirty odd years.

Fuse is dated 1916, projectile 1915.

Enjoy
Cheers
Drew

BTW - it is inert!

Hi Drew,
Well done, what a lovely little projectile. Another great adition to the collection, thanks for showing it.
Best regards Weasel.

Hi Weasel,

Mate, I'm always happy to share with fellow ordnance enthusiasts - at least they appreciate it (my family doesn't!!!!!!)

Hi Ben,

I think it is the other way around as you have some top stuff!!!

The other sad thing is that this 2pr came without a case - found a 1916 dated case about 18mths ago in a flea market - sold it off thinking that the chances of finding another projectile would be zero.......ahhhh!

Cheers
Drew

Great find Drew, That 121 fuze is a "peckerwood" to find on a nice projo none the less. You sold a correct case? Yikes....Best..Dano

Hi Dan,

Yep had a spare case and sold it!

BUT there's a couple in the pipeline!!!!
