Late 25PDR Case.

[tigbrand]

Just a quick question,I got given 2 x 25 pdr cases a few years ago, they were both late 70s dated,they were made by POF,which i believe is Pakistan Ord Factory.Were these used in the uk,in uk guns? Perhaps because the uk had stopped manufacture of ammo, or had they travelled around the world as souvenirs? They came with 2 x 105mm cases of similiar date.Cheers Tony.

POF still produce the 25lber ammunition,,the guns were last used for Training around 1990 by the uk...i would have thought the POF ammo is made for ex commonwealth countries
