Sold for: $40
Description
A U.S. Military M865 TPCSDS-T 120mm Cartridge Storage Case, designed for the transport or storage of inert 120mm TPCSDS-T M865 cartridges. This large, olive green, cylindrical metal container, likely steel, features reinforced ends and a central band, indicative of robust, utilitarian construction. It bears numerous white and faded yellow stencil markings, including “1-CARTRIDGE, 120MM TPCSDS-T: M865,” “63.2 LBS.” (referring to the original cartridge weight), and “INERT PROJECTILE, UN 0328.” Further markings identify it with National Stock Number “1315-01-288-5545-C785,” a UN packaging symbol “1A2/Y45/S/04,” and “USA/DOD/AYD” indicating U.S. Department of Defense origin. Partially visible faded stenciling reads “EMPTY CAS…”, confirming it is an empty case.
Condition report:
The object exhibits moderate wear consistent with its military-industrial purpose, including scuffs, scratches, paint loss, and some surface rust on the metal bands and edges.
