WWII Anti-Aircraft Shell

		Quote:			Posted by metal_inspector
	Yes, it made me feel a lot more safe as well to know.  How it got over to the US is not any guess of mine.  Maybe a souvenir that was taken home by a soldier.  Not really sure. Anyways.  It is approximately six and a half pounds in weight.  Its range is about three and a half miles.  It had a cap that went over the top of it, and it was made of tungsten.  But, I have done research and you are right about it being a anti-tank shell.  It was fired from a M86 cannon and at the selected tank.  I am just curious as to if it would be worth a little something.  I don't want to sell it, but it is just nice to know.

It would surly bring something.
I think that it would not bring a lot of money.

Those WW I fuse timers I found are rare.
I could not find another of this type on tha
internet. It is hard to find one in tact.

Ones like it, but another brand cost around
$75.

These would probably bring more,




But I do not want to sell them.

They usually look more like this









When I first strated findin these lead balls,
I thought they were musket balls. But they
were packed in some WW I artillery rounds
as schrapnal.



Here is a couple of pics I got off tha internet.





These timers would fit several types and size
rounds.

be a WW I training camp.

It was turned over tha public before
WW II.

Most ordinance has been removed.

	More than likely you did research and found that out.  I have read on our towns history, but it didn't contain good enough information.  I plan to purchase a audio CD, since it contains over 800 pages and some maps of my county in Missouri.

Actually it was the other way around.
When I first started findin tha stuff, I
did not know what I had. But tha model
and lot numbers, along with tha manufacturer
were on tha fuse timers got me started.

That is when tha research really started.
