INERT DEACTIVATED. This a scarce British 20pr tank gun High Explosive (HE) DRILL round that was fitted to the British Charioteer and early Centurion tanks. The 20pr gun replaced the WW2 17pr tank gun originally fitted to the tank with the bore of the gun increased from 3 inches to 84mm. The weighted round is made from aluminium and brass, the brass parts used on high wear areas. These rounds have the same profile and weight of live rounds and were used by tank crews to practice loading the rounds in the gun in the turret so very few were made and survive. The round is in excellent condition and is heavy, it being weighted to the weight of a live round. No licence is required to possess this drill round in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. Price includes UK delivery. Sn 22846:89
