Re: ww 2 ? shell identification
Hi Steve T.Many thanks for your reply,its been a great help.Do you think it could have used on a ship or more likely some kind of mobile gun ?.Im not too clued up on these things.My main interest is aircraft.My late father was tail gunner in lancasters and im currently trying to research his war record which is proving rather difficult.Will take your advice with the polishing.All the best :-)

Hi its a 4.5 alright.
wartime ones are hard to get now they were used in the anti aircraft roll and on ships also. i would not polish it though if you want to preserve the value but if you want it to look and value is no issue. i have seen ww2 examples sell for between 120 & 150 as long as there is no dents or plits in the case and not pollished.
Regards
Andy

Snailster66, if you can get hold of your Grandfathers service number you should be able to track his records through "Veterans Uk" on this site:- Setvice Records,Medals and Badges
Good luck, Simon.

Many thanks dogdog47 and shadowwolf.Unfortunatly ive not much choice regarding pollishing it up as its has allot of paint and other unknown things on it that dont show on the picture.Ill certainly check out the website to do with war records.All the best.
