Ordnance and Shells where to buy ?

[slayer]

Hi guys I'm interested in buying some shell cases or bullet shell cases, where would the best place be for buying these items I never see this tuff listed in the e-stand ?

I already have some small bullet shells and fragments I've picked up from Gallipoli and the Somme area but would like maybe some larger shells.

Any help appreciated.

Only place i know(except Finnish army surplus stores) is german Egun:

I had 8,8cm Flak 18 shellcasing forsale in estand but nobody was interested.And i think postage for such item would be costly to Australia from Europe.

I also have two 3,7cm Pak casings right now and 2x 37mm Bofors HE grenades.Those are much smaller and i guess reasonable postage for them.

What does Australian customs say about such items?

I am of the opinion that finding 20mm, 30mm Rheinmetall-Borsig cannon rounds is NO easy task. I am told that out of the 1000's that are discovered in various places today buried in bunkers, or in mud underground, only a fraction of those are presentable and collectable with the original paint and markings on them. I have a source, but he only gets a few that are good from time to time.

There is very nice samples of 20mm ammunition in egun.de but prices go high if shell is very good condition one.I have already bought like 20pcs of different 20mm ammo from there.There was very nice 7,5cm shell with wartime artwork done to side of the shell.But rule is,if ammo is topshape->price is also high.

Agreed, I have a about 12 pieces of 15mm, 20mm, 30mm and they are not cheap, nor easy, like me!!!
