Default Quite a collection !!!

Rob,

Beautiful collection of CMPs. Your attention to detail is outstanding. The blood, sweat and tears putting it all together has to be considerable. Enjoy, I certainly do.

Peter

Default 17 pdr. shell found today. A great day.

Thanks for the heads up Rob Love on this shell casing. Drove 6 hours and traded away the farm for this one. Always looking for more 17 pounder stuff. Cheers Rob

Default Inside Limber colour???

Started pulling the limber apart this week for its restoration. I've seen a couple of limbers painted white inside? Is silver an option? Thoughts. Rob

Default Dovetailed canvas covered box restro

Found this minty box a couple of weeks ago, the top canvas cover was pretty ratty. Recovered with artist 10 ounce weight canvas and sewed the corners to fit. Not sure of it's application, a double bending hinge. Cheers Rob

Are there no markings along the bottom edges? It seems like these style boxes are almost always marked.
