On the first picture I see a German 3 cm MK108, a German 2 cm Flak38 and an Italian 2 cm Flak. The 4th/5th picture show 37x94 rounds, the left looks German, the middle USA (M1916) and the last not sure.....the projectile looks German, but the case looks really strange. Could you make a clear picture of the headstamp?
Thanks for the replay and info. I think the 2nd and 3rd you are asking about are the same casing but the head is different on the 3rd one. Must be off something else? But the markings are the same on the casing. I will take more pics for you later. Any idea of value of them? I got the first lot of three for $5.00 and the 2nd lot for $17.50 The large german shell in trench art also, the shell is tooled around with a flower, a name, flags, and 1919. I also got some motars and grenades if you look in the grenade forum you can see them as well.

The 3rd case is also USA, but the primer is not original. The large R could imply French modification, but I have never seen such a large R. Anyway, the prices you paid are nice. These items are not rare, but as stated, you paid low prices.
