Yesterday I walked into a local gunshop, and found three super rare and expensive German WWII marked Sturmgewehr magazines, and this artillery shell. I bought the magazines for $20 each, and got the shell for free.
It is solid metal and inert. The "fuse" in the bottom is where tracer compound would have been placed. It measures 75mm diameter, and is 8 3/4 inches long. I believe it is a WWII Anti Tank round for a Anti Tank gun, or tank round, but I'm not sure. It's Armor Piercing whatever it is. Any ideas what fired it?
