    Hi fellow battlerelics collectors.
    We had a wildfire last year over here in coastal Attica, Greece. Lots of trash, bottles etc have been washed out during the Winter that passed. Most of the things are modern trash but sometimes one can find coins or older stuff (I finally found my 1st German WW2 "pebble" pattern button).
    So the other day I found a shell that looks like the ones I find in the old trenches and bunkers, German and Italian.
    But htis one has me baffled I have no idea how old it is.
    Sorry hte pics are not hta great...
    The stamped markings read "N 26 N 67" what does this mean?
    Is this a case from some old ammo used in WW2 or more recent, from 1967?
    I have no measurments of the casing yet that could maybe help with the type of ammunition but I could get them if needed

    Please help date shell casing, WW2?
