Inert Ordnance Shells & Casings (6) - An impressive six-piece collection of inert artillery rounds and spent shell casings spanning multiple military eras. Included in this collection are notable pieces such as a WWI-era French/US Model 37-85 37mm Hotchkiss casing, a 40mm Mk 2 brass casing, a 30mm brass round, and a modern olive drab 40mm L/70 HE-PFP XM922 practice projectile with stencil markings and copper driving band. The casings feature crisp headstamps, lot numbers, and maker marks across brass and steel elements.
