Tony. Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I picked this up recently, does anyone know the kind of weapon it was used in please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy8men Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 looks like a 2 pounder solid shot, there should be a small hole in the bottom that contained the tracer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony. Posted August 11, 2022 Author Share Posted August 11, 2022 Thanks Rick, Indeed there is a hole in the end, is it likely to have been a tank mounted 2 pound gun? Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 2-pdr Tank or anti-tank: same ordnance, different mounting, so could be either. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony. Posted August 11, 2022 Author Share Posted August 11, 2022 Thanks Mike, The location of the find is close to a wartime and present day bombing range on the coast where some 30cal cases dropped from aircraft are quite regularly found, but a 2pdr is most unusual.
