Default Late fall finds...

just to let you know that the stuff is still out there. A 17 pdr. round, but still trying to identify the tracer round that was sold to me as such M62A1...NIce to have the shell. A couple of siege lamps today 1943 marked, and some RCAF items, an 1154 radio, and a service dress WAG tunic. Cheers Rob

Surely it is an M62A1 APC projectile? It's for the 76mm M1 gun and the 3" M7 gun as used in Sherman, Hellcat and M10 respectively. I saw that on Facebook and told him I would have jumped at it had it been this side of the world!
