Picked up today these casings - 17pr, 18pr (unavoidable) M6, 37x90 ?

I don't collect 17prs, but the price was right and sooner or later a projectile
will come fourth ~ There are never enough 18 Pdr. cases it seems, but I
think I'm good for now.
The 37x90 , I'm not yet sure on the K marking (no crimp) has me thinking - but of what ?
The M16 was cheap and clean --- Is that a Broad Arrow mark on it ??? (is it a Broad Arrow mark?) If so I
don't recall seeing that before ?

Comments are welcome ~

TYPO - I meant M16 case.

Love the 17pdr, I looked for one for a long time locally but ended up getting one elsewhere. Good score!

Well I sold off the 3.7 case which I didn't have room for and now I have this so I
sort of just rearranged the deck chairs ~ :tinysmile_hmm_t:

Must be a sign to start collecting the bigger ones...

I have never seen that type of 37mm M16 case before, and I have 200. It looks to be Canadian or British made.

Hi,

The M16 case with marking "B" is I believe "Bridgeport Brass Company", I think it is a USA made case. In my collection I have 2 M16 cases that have a broad arrow and the marking CF, I thinl lend-lease from USA to the UK. Of these cases 1 has a USA primer, the other a French primer.

That happens! I can attest that! Only problem is running out of space.

The 37x90 is American Armaments Co. Made for Holland, but I guess not delivered. Some are better marked than this.
Years back I had some k marked solid shot for these, but of course not now.
