Product Description

Trench Find. An 88mm exploded shell. Solid brass. Nationality, date, and other details unknown. 

Spectacular specimen, particularly from a materials science perspective. On the back the metal has fissures where the material has torn under compressive deformation, while the shoulder, near the charge, has shattered like glass. You can also see where the sides have run down the smooth bore of the gun.

This thing is heavy.
