Default 6pdr projectile

The alloy of the steel has prevented the projectile from rust/tarnishing for many years, and the case was polished, thus removing any stencilling from the sides. All of the inspection stamps are clearly visible on the steel and on the copper driving band. I'm in two minds wether to try and recreate the finish and markings on the projectile, or just enjoy it in all it's naked glory. Cor, what a find!
