Westley Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) 50+ years Probably nearer to 100, I think it was 1945 when they stopped the 'Gastight' production. Take good care of the box too, they are a collectors item. Edited January 2, 2016 by Westley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farma Geddon Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 My mate found a box of twelve bore gastight , so we patterned a few and shot the rest at pigeon ! Good cartridge . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subsonicnat Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Remember a few of these 50 years back, they were a damn good cartridge... Mate used them as well on Ducks and geese.. may be worth trying them in a SALE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovercoupe Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Nice to see the carts and box, I have a few of those but they look like new not 50+ years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
