Hi all, just thought I'd share my latest finds with you.
Top shelf - 2 6 Pdr Armour piercing shells with a 25 Pdr Armour Piercing in between (shell however only weighs in at 20 pound)
Middle shelf - 2 nose cones of either 8 or 10 lb practice bombs with 2 more 6 Pdr Armour piercing shells.
Bottom shelf - Remains of 4 mortar shells,remains of 2 6 Pdr shells plus empty casing of 2inch mortar illuminating round.
Also have included picture of a parachute out of a 2 inch mortar illuminating round that was also found by myself.

Very nice mate, and beautifully displayed too :D

The mortars on the bottom shelf are the 3" variety. I've got a few of them myself. I didn't find them unfortunately. They were found by an ex-pat in Bayaux, Normandy.

Hi there, thanks for the compliments. I should have taken pictures before I cleaned them up to show how much work I had to do to get them to their current condition :)
