INERT Unfired British 5.5 Inch 80Lb High Explosive Projectile. Sn O 899

This is an INERT Unfired British 5.5 Inch 80Lb high explosive projectile for the 5.5 inch Medium gun first used in the western desert in 1942. The gun originally fired a 100 lb projectile but to increase the range, a 80lb shell was developed from a higher grade steel with a less tapered nose. The base of this projectile is correctly stamped 5.5gun 80lb mk3. This projectile was manufactured in 1962 and was already painted in wartime colours when we acquired it.
