For Sale: Very Rounds, reproduction, set of 12

[Bruce Parker (RIP)]

Robin, these things seem to have come in a variety of lengths and the one you have is the same length as the ones I made that exactly fit the height of the bins in WW2 Bren carriers and other AFV's. From the pic of the bin you provided earlier (from a Ferret?) it looks like it may have been designed for shorter rounds. Does that make sense? If you used these taller rounds would they rattle around too much?

I have no expertise in this subject, I throw myself to the learned ones here.

What I can say is what I see or dont.

I picked these two up a long time ago, over 20 years ago in the UK and they followed me home, don't ask.

What I am showing you is what I have and not neccesarily military issue rounds more rounds that fit, so that may be the reason that these cartridges are different and lack all the exterior markings of others.

I find it interesting that the distinctive rolling marks in the end of the cardboard are gone in the spent round.

Over to you all for examination and comment
