Hello,

I am a new member. Been posting some in the model section but new here.

I recently aquired three shell casings.

1- appears to be steel with a finish on it. Its marked "90mm - M19B1"

2- appears to also be steel with a finish on it. Its marked "76mm - M26B1", "Lot CLM-66 1954", "AMM LOT LOP-9-44-X", and "SMKLS SHELL M42A1"

3- is a brass shell. Its marked "75mm.M18", "Lot 5118-12", "C.B.&C.CO.1940". This shell also has ink stamping around the middle of the shell that says "normal" and a band.

I have done a bit of googling and I think shell #2 is for a korea era Sherman? I am pretty sure shell #3 is for a WW2 era M3 or M4. Normal load as opposed to super or under.

I have no idea what shell #1 would be for. I was hoping it was for a M26 Pershing, but not with that date.

I will try to post some pictures a bit later.

Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly apprciated.

Also, does anyone know where I might get some projectiles to replace in these for display? Safe and legal ones of course.

Thanks
Spence

Korean War vintage shell from a 90mm AA gun.

Cool. I will google Korean war 90mm AA guns to see what models there were.

Thanks for your reply.
