Title: I found a bomb!!!
Post by: Tigerchips on June 02, 2008, 10:27:54 AM

Well, i never thought I'd find one of these....

I wonder which war it's from? It's very heavy and it looks like it's made from copper, although the top part has a different colour.

It's alright, it's not live as it's hollow inside. Maybe it's from a tank or a battleship?

It's a shell case and the top part is probably brass

Yes, seems to be a tank shell.

This brass thingy below, the fella I bought the bullet from said that it went with it. Trouble is it doesn't seem to fit with it so I don't know. It's trench art by the looks of it.

There's some interesting things in there but sadly not like this. Very WMF isn't it? Though it's not anywhere near WMF in quality.
