INERT DEACTIVATED. This is a rare and original British, 1956 dated 2inch Proof mortor which was used to proof 2 inch mortor barrels. The mortor retains most of its original black painted finish (Proof) and is made out of a turned solid steel 2 inch diameter body with a tubular tail section secured to the body by a screw. This tail section is ventilated for the firing cartridge. The body of the mortor is stamped round its circumference 2LB 15OZS 2MOR1 11/56 (November 1956 date), a crowfoot and 2 manufacturers marks. The base of the tail assembly has an alloy safety cap which is embossed CRB on one side and 42 (1942 date) on the other. Due to the nature of a proof round, there are no stabilising fins. The price includes UK delivery and no licence is required to possess this inert mortor in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. O 2064
