Dummy Shells

[EKman]

Greetings all,

On the way home from vacation yesterday, I was able to stop at several antique shops. I found these two nice dummy shells, both dated 1944. I thought I'd share them here and see what yall think. What do these sell for generally?

Best,

Chris

Can anyone tell me anything about these dummy rounds? From what I have found, they seem to be rather uncommon as many were destroyed in the training process or discarded at the end of the war when they were no longer needed.

Thanks,

Chris

Do you have a pic of the markings?
That could help.....

Sorry to have taken so long getting these pics, these shells are so heavy and having only one arm that really works well, I had to wait for help to get them down for pictures.

I will post four as I am not really sure which ones came out best.
