Why do they have to do this?

[SG500]

First thing to do is to find some really scarce shell cases.
Then cut them down.:tinysmile_angry_t:
Don't you just wish they'd do it with the really common ones?

Falls right into the "LETS MAKE A LAMP OUT OF THIS CASING AND DRILL A HOLE IN THE SIDE OF IT"
Don't you love it?

Everything is relative. There was a time (I was there) when big ordnance was good only for the scrap value and some in particular, i.e. Japanese, were even less valuable because of the unknown alloys. It's a lot easier to look back than it is to look forward. Who woulda known.

Very good point Ray.
Many collectors don't like the modern rounds.......all the more for me:bigsmile:

Who knows in quite a few years time when I end up getting rid of my collection some of it may be quite rare.:tinysmile_hmm_t2:

Rare to start with !

I think most of it is quite "rare" to start with SG500 :biggrin:
