My large bore WW2 shell case / 37 mm Hotchkiss collection
Although I have been a member on this forum for some time, I only became active recently. I really do not know why I did not visit the forum more often, since it is very active and educational.

I have two main interests for my collection:
- WW2 shell cases > .50 caliber (projectiles only limited)
- Hotchkiss and related

Hereby some pictures with the main part of my collection. Only my trading stuff and living room TV companions (2 x 17 cm WW2, 2 x 15 cm K16 and 2 x 10 cm K04) are lacking.

Picture 1 (left to right, top to bottom): Dutch, Japanese, French, Russian, Italian, Swiss, Romania, Norway, Poland, Finland, some large stuff, Belgium, Chech, Hungary, Sweden.

Picture 2: German

Picture 3: USA, Canada and UK

Picture 4: 37 mm Hotchkiss

Thanks!

I still have some projectiles but I've been trading them away. The reason(s)?

- WW2 shell cases (all countries) is already a huge job
- I am (really) afraid my house can not take the weight (2nd floor)

Hi Lee,
