Description

GREAT LOOKING LARGE 75mm WW I  Highly Decorated Floral Trench Art Artillery Shell, France
DESCRIPTION:
Original 75mm WWI Trench Art Artillery Shell. Full length and has not been shortened as often happens. HIGHLY & NICELY DECORATED.  No powder in it, and the primer has been removed, so absolutely safe to sell and own.
Brass casing has really nice floral motif with leaves, etc. nicely impressed into the side on a stippled background. Some other decorations, including nicely scalloped top edge. Particularly well made and nicely done. I have shown a scan of the bottom manf. marks as well. THIS IS A US SHELL CASING, FIRED & RECOVERED FROM THE BATTLEFIELDS IN FRANCE.
About 13 1/2" high overall, and made for a 3" diameter projectile. Excellent, untouched, original condition. Nice patina and aged appearance! One of the nicer WWI shells you will find.
