Remembered Today:

Facsimile cartridge case

Recommended Posts

I came across a couple of 18 pounder cartridge cases in an antiques centre the other day.  Checking

out the markings I found that one was stamped 'Facsimile eighteen pounder shell'.  It had real 'age'

to it and even had a dummy primer in situ.  Why make a facsimile, when there were and are so many

genuine ones in circulation?  Has anyone else ever seen one of these?

Maybe a manufacturer's specimen or display piece?
