Hi Waff, OK this is only a long shot, but I hope fairly accurate-if the others all pitch in you should get a fairly good idea of what is there.
2 x 3.7 AA Cases-look unfilled/unused
2 x 40/60 Bofors complete
1 x 75 mm Field case (American/French?)
1 x 3.5 in 25 pounder HE Projectile
1 x either 3.7 or 4.5 inch Projectile HE
1 X fired 75 MM APCBC less Ballistic cap
1 x 105 mm Howitzer case
1 x 18 pounder Shrapnel shell
1 x 3 pounder round 1WW ??
2 x 40 mm 2 pounder cases
1 x 40 mm Pom Pom case
As for the other bits it is very hard to identify them, but it is a nice little collection of goodies and if they are at the right price I hope you get them !
Good luck.:woohoo:
