Piat

Careful. And, if possible, do not destroy the item: it could be live :eek: but it could also be a valuable dummy round.
I would first avoid too much manipulating and try to find knowledgeable techies. As a last resort, I would ask the army ordnance techies for help. Ask also to be returned the item when neutered.
Now, you have to find a PIAT launcher for good measure... ;)
PP.
 
:D round is already buggered, just the warhead missing the tube and fins, I surprised the young guy who found it was able to figure out what it was. No worries about where it is it can sit there for a few more weeks like its done for the last 50 years. And the proper people are dealing with it now ;) It won't make the news

Just interesting what you can find when you least expect it.

Oh and I have been told that I should just avoid the media as I’m not a photogenic poster boy :D Oh that and I would just get myself in trouble
 
The problem with identification of British Service ammunition, is the fact that during the 20th century they had 4 different colour coding standards, including NATO colour coding. Date of manufacture means a lot, as do photographs. I advice you phone the nice Ammo Techs in Base Ammo, and let them dispose of it. I do have a pdf file of obsolete british markings if you really need it.
