5 inch arty round

your going to have to post a little more info.

any markings on the base of the round.

what sort of fuse, base plate, driving band(s) ect...

Painted markings



on and pictures of course

sorry I just reread 5" circumference, can't be a 5" round

and If I remember the formula C=(pie)D so about 1.6"

thats fairly small and 14 1/2" long perhaps some sort of antiarmour round

I'm going to guess a 2 pounder antitank tound. If I'm right, do I get a prize?

1.6" is pretty close to 40mm as well. Markings o the base will tell the story.
