I should have it in my mailbox in a couple of days and as soon I get it I'll post dimensions here. I wonder what the base metal is. Probably zinc.
Cheers,

Hi Hubert,

So you acquired that rare beauty! Well done.

The only one like this we've seen but looks like a genuine S&L Coastal Artillery in every way, including the characteristic finish which in this case was applied over top of the copper coating.

Best regards,

Hi Norm,
Yes, thanks to Philippe I became a happy owner of this unusual beauty
Since I already have the standard crimped zincer I look forward very much to compare them in hands.
Cheers,
Hubert
