Hi i bought a 90mm Brass shell awhile ago it was sold as a M-108 shell dated 1943 i just after a bit more info on it, types of projectiles and weapon that fired it. I've been looking for a projectile for it since buying it but no look so far.
Thanks Nathan
 
We need to see photos of your shell. Side view and a view of the headstamp.

Your case was used in the U.S. 90mm Tank Gun for the M318 AP-T projectile or the M353 TP-T projectile. The steel version of your case the M108B1 was used with the canister projectiles for the gun. Data Sheets attached for the rounds.

Is there any writing on the primer?
