Artillary Shell

[Andy4707]

Here is a picture of an artillary shell that my dad got from his step brother. It was used in World War 1. It was made in 1917 and used in 1918.

that is called trench art . it is very collectable!! these pieces were made by service men while enlisted and usually made as something to pass time between fighting in ww2. very nice!!
