I visited a very small boot sale on the Luxembourg/Belgian border whilst on holiday and found this lot of items.
The axe is dated 1914 and appears to be German possibly, with some other markings stamped on it. The mess tin is marked Silesia 1917, unfortunately the handle is missing.
The two big shell cases came from a barn - just down the road from where the boot sale was (the bloke pointed out which farm in the distance). These were one of each type 75mm and 105mm (he had a pile of about 30 of each). Didn't have any more space in the car unfortunately for anything else!
