With the quick ID of the Italian grenade I listed , I will see if I can go 2 for 2.
This is I am fairly sure is a 75 mm Italian brass shell casing , the projectile on the other hand I am not sure of.
Brass case is 10.750 inches , projectile is 8 inches.
The projectile is missing the driving band / belt , it does fit snugly into casing up to where driving band should be. There is a slight lip holding it from sliding down inside.
Projectile nose has 3 recesses , maybe for holding tool when screwing in base plug.
The bottom of projectile has broad arrow proof mark along with a RW stamp.
Is this a correct combination or was this put together ?
The 4 pieces were sent home by the same doughboy.
