Antiques & Collectables, Coins, Gold & Silver (14% Buyers Commission)
This lot consists of a single inert large-calibre ammunition round measuring approximately 29 centimetres in total length, configured in the style of a 37mm M55A1 target practice round. The item features a cylindrical rimmed brass casing that shows natural surface patination and minor wear consistent with age. The projectile assembly is composed of a blue-coloured body featuring horizontal striations characteristic of modern 3D-printed synthetic construction, fitted with a copper-toned driving band and a tapered silver-coloured tip. The brass casing measures approximately 16 centimetres in height and is devoid of any visible manufacturer markings, calibre designations, or proof marks on the side or base in the provided images. This display piece is entirely inert and serves as a visual replica or training aid, incorporating a modern replacement projectile onto a period-style brass casing.
Condition report:
The rimmed brass casing exhibits a matured patina with minor surface scuffs and small dings present from handling. The 3D-printed projectile shows distinct layering from the manufacturing process but remains structurally sound and securely seated in the casing. The copper-toned finish on the driving band and the silver-coloured tip show light surface wear. The item is confirmed to be inert and contains no active primer, propellant, or explosive components.
