the oblong tins gave way to the round ones to which you refer in the mid 1960s. your memory was therefore quite correct.;
Thinking back hard (and it IS getting harder)......I am sure that at the age of 12-13, (1969-70)....I am 100% positive that that my Webley pellets came in the style of tin at the bottom of this group...ie. the round green or orange/white jobbies. I even remember sending off my coupons for my badge (although what happened to that, or the Mk3 I had a couple of years later.....gawd knows)
Anyway.....I have a dated advert from 1969 that shows this style of tin, but does anyone know exactly when they replaced the oblong tins (also shown in pic?).
