Hi Chaps,sold a case to new member Grapeshot on SA,and as i had to go near where he lives,i dropped it off, Nice coffee and a look at some nice early, mainly Boer war era bits,the 4.7"(i think!)shrapnell was very nice indeed.I only took a few pics but some nice scarce early stuff and Jim is an interesting chap to talk to.He also collects SA ammo too.Cheers Tony.:tinysmile_grin_t:

Best regards Weasel.
