<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 327964, member: 54"]Only part that is military is the fuze. The tailfin assembly is made up from soldered brass parts, if it were military it would be steel and spot-welded. That bulbous body is probably shop-made also since it looks like brass and again a similar military item would be steel. Also the shape of that bulb isn’t correct for any mortar shell or other projectile I’ve seen. But it is still trench art since the fuze is real.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
