Now this could be easily "coverted" back.......

Hi All,

Spotted this in an Antique store recently - looks like an early German 3" (~75mm) projectile with a "M" series fuse.

Noticed that it is "unfired" -> hard to find WW1 unfired projectiles these days.............(obviously emptied with a light attachment in place)

Can anyone confirm this? The narrow double-band driving band should ID it?)

Cheers

Drew
