Inherited 1954 British 20-Pounder Tank Shell – Double checking if inert/safe
Hi everyone,
My dad passed away a few years ago and left me this tank shell that he used to keep in his shed. He always assured me it was completely inert, but I’m just trying to double-check everything for peace of mind before cleaning it up setting it up on a shelf.
From the headstamp and research, it looks to be a 1954 British 20-Pounder (84mm) round (stamped 20 PR I L and 1954).
A few details on its condition:
Base / Primer: The central primer cap has a hole punctured/drilled right through to the inner threads.
Looks like it make have been yellow?
Any help you can give on it would be much appreciated.
