This is an aft 3" 50 on the port side of the Fleet Oiler I was on. There were four when I first came aboard in April of 1976. Two were removed later on in dry dock around 1978 so there was one on each side one forward and one aft. Navy 3”/50 cases and projectiles are way more common to find th...

Always looking to buy artillery projectiles and cases, mortar projectiles, mortar parts, artillery parts, related tools, sights, etc. I collect WWI to present day items. Not really interested in Civil War cannon balls, etc. I wouldn't mind a black powder muzzle loading cannon to make noise but not r...
