I have recently added a 6pr 6cwt round to my collection, along with a 42mm Red Queen (see the pic from the Ammo Photo Gallery on my website).What is intriguing is that the date on the 6pr's headstamp is 1960. Apparently it isn't the only one in existence which was made then. Why were they still making the ammo a dozen or more years after the project was cancelled? No-one seems to know.From left to right: 40x364R (Bofors L/70 land+naval), 42x270 (British Red Queen exp. AA), 45x386SR (Soviet naval), 57x347SR (Soviet S60 land+naval), 57x438R (Bofors naval - formerly land also), 57x515R (British 6pr 6cwt exp. AA)
