Mondays arrivals

[Charlie]

Two carts arrived today. The first a 30x170mm from the 1942 trials, lot 1 with primer (thanks Andy ;-) ) Was on evil bay and removed ( tip - always take note of another item the seller is selling to stay in contact) The second my old man picked up from a junk store. 377mm long, 46/47mm calibre projectile was crimped in with 6 dots, percussion primed, markings on base 'L' above primer & 'E.O.C.' below. Will post pics when i find the lead for the dammed camera.

Based on measurements, sounds like an Elswich Ordnance Co 3 pounder.

LOT 1, you lucky person, has it got the projectile in it?

Unfortunatly no projectile mate, but the first primed case from lot 1 i've seen.

Does anyone know what the 'FM' to the left of 1942 stands for?

Nice one on the 30mm. After hearing about these a while ago I now double check every Rarden case I see.
