I have these and would like a bit of information on them. All I think are from WW2, but clarification would help.All will be for sale when I pay the subscription as well as the other Bombs I have posted pics of.

The 37mm with EOC on the side was made by Elswick Ordnance Company (UK) late 1800's to WWI. Company was started in 1847.

The .50 BMG dummy round was made in the U.S. by Frankford Arsenal. It was made in 1940 or 1944. I can't remember the stamp rule on that one.

The 2 50BMG headstamped R A 42 are U.S. made by Remington Arms in 42.

The 2 belted silver cases are 55 Boyes UK WWII.

The long 20mm steel case with Blue/Gray headstamped LOS is German made, looks like 1960's. The U.S. used that gun also with the German ammo.

Brass 20mm headstamp K2 1941 for Hispano gun, UK WWII.

The two linked 20mm cases are for Hispano gun. The left one is UK, right one possibly U.S. both WWII.

The EOC projectile is likely made for export, Spain used this style of projectile.
It dates 1916 - 17, it's dated but hard to read.
