[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 33652, member: 360"]Beautiful items, but yeah, be very careful if you think the rounds still have powder in them. I remember a nasty news story a few years ago about a family who had their house blown up. Grandpa was a WWII vet and he kept a pair of artillery shells on either side of the fireplace as decorations. Souvenirs from his army days. Unfortunately one night, the heat from the fire or something, set shells off and blew the roof off the house and destroyed the living-room. I wish I could find it and post it here. An excellent cautionary tale.[/QUOTE]
