While I normally don't "restore" artifiacts [I leave as I have found them] I'm interested in restoring this round. I found the projectile in a antique store and it was painted gold (which I obviously stripped off). Underneath the windscreen I found a note which stated it was made at the Chamberlain Plant, Waterloo, Iowa. I would like to repaint the markings on the projectile and case. Has anyone done this before? If so, what would be a good paint {brand}? Anyone familar with making a stencil using MS Word? What would be the correct font and letter size? Thanks!

I have an original with great paint and markings. I'll try to shoot some pics tonight. I have had very good results using 3M sticky backed A4 printer paper to make stencils for ordnance.Comment

I guess the pics couldn't get any bigger

Christ, talk about large pictures.
Originaly these shells were rolled over a rubber stamp not stencilled. Its in the TM manual Ammunition Renovation TM 9-1905 September 1948, a very good read.

I'm still figuring out the features on a new digital camera. Glad ya'll liked the pictures. I knew they would draw some attention. The swing set is on the right but I couldn't get it in the shot.
