Description: | LeadProbable Bullet or Cannon Shell. Solid cast object with a domed and flattened end, four thick circumferential ribs and an indented base. The size seems a little too large to represent a bullet for the larger (0.5 inch calibre) machine gun, though short of 20mm - a common calibre for aircraft cannon - so it may be the projectile part of a heavier bullet or a lighter aircraft cannon shell. A deep gouge on one side probably arises from impact. Suggested date: Modern, 1940-1950.Length: 27.0mm, Diameter: 15.2mm, Weight: 39.76gms.
