Forum Members, What's the going rate on a WW1 US 75mm artillery projectile?.....No shell casing included.....No markings on the projectile, 1908 dated fuse.....Brass ring shows it's been fired.....Any information appreciated as usual.....Photo is for reference only....Bodes

I bought one (as described) at the Militaria Show in Ft. Worth, TX for $40 about 3 years ago. -
Thanks Alan, I bought a British 18-pounder at a swap meet about 4-5 years ago for $20.....I figured that was a steal....This 75mm I have located is in an antique shop for $75.....I see one sold on eBay for just under $100, but I suppose it's like every thing else....Depends on who's looking and how bad one wants one....BodesComment

Bodes,
I think $75 is a pretty fair price on the round you have located. In all candor, the $40 example I found at the militaria show was probably a bit of a bargain (I suspect the dealer needed to make a sale to go towards his show expenses, so he got "right" on the price to move it out the door).
Please be sure to post photos of your new acquisition.
Regards,
