INERT DEACTIVATED. In 1974, Cockerill Mechanical Industries decided to re enter the defence market by producing a 90 mm gun system suitable for light and medium tanks and armoured cars. This is a rare, near mint, pre production 1970 dated, unfired 90mm Cockerell (90x352) low pressure Gun HEAT (High Explosive Anti-Tank) (Fin Stabilised) round with a ¼ section taken out for display or instruction for the Cockerell Mk3-MA1 90mm gun fitted to turrets of several armoured vehicles, including the Scorpion 90 and Indonesian Anoa 6x6 armoured car. Production models had a strengthened fin stabilising system instead of the mortar type fin assembly. This round has a long spigot to the projectile similar to a mortar fitted with a nose fuze. The alloy cartridge case has a quarter section taken out of it to show the fin stabilisation, slim copper driving band and the case primer. The construction of the round is totally aluminium alloy. The alloy projectiles body has a single narrow copper sealing band. The base of the projectile has 6 alloy fins extruded with the tail section and a alloy reinforcing ring round them. The alloy cartridge case is headstamped (March 1970 date) 6-70 (June 1970 date) and is fitted with an alloy primer that is stencilled 3-Ma-70 (March 1970 date). The price for this early rare, sectioned round includes U.K. delivery and no licence in needed in the UK if retained as a part of a collection or display. O 2271
