<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rhiwfield, post: 218763, member: 924&quot;]There is history to this. Found in an auction lot, presumed inert!</p><p><br /></p><p>Then saw Paul Laidlaw pick up a similar item on Antiques road trip and he suggested a WWI Turkish shell and a Gallipoli connection.</p><p><br /></p><p>But does the 43 stamp indicate WWII rather than WWI?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So given probable postage issues, rather than sell it direct I put it into an auction house where competitive bids took it up to £60 only for the Turkish buyer fail to pay. It failed to sell when reauctioned so I&#039;m doing now what I should have done before which is to confirm exactly what this is!
