Had this one for a while. It’s got a lot of paint left, some surface rust throughout but all solid — the stenciled Warning labels still shows all over the tube, although a bit faint in places. Seems to have been stored or buried in a relatively stable and dry environment (lots of red sandy soil all over when first received), never fired.

Amazingly enough the seller, which is a very well known European dealer, managed to ship this to me with the black powder charge still intact — I was not happy. The charge has been emptied now though but there’s still something blocking the tube — looking at cross section images of this type it appears this would be the tail fin still in there… could anyone confirm?

Anyway, hope you like it!
