Hi all I inherited a couple of shells from my grandad. Could anyone please let me know if they are of any value? One is Italian 75x582mm L/46, model of 1934 anti-aircraft cannon shell casing, made in 1937. The other is 40mm Bofors cartridge case, US Navy. The primer appears to be dated (19)55. Thanks any help much appreciated.
