Hi. It may be obvious this is my first post on any forum. Ihave purchased what I think is a WW 1 artillery shell complete with projectile and fuze. The fuse is a number 85 made by Bethlehem steel co in 1916. The projectile is slightly corroded . 31/4 inch diameter and 12 inches long including fuze . the brass case is stamped 90x602 DM4 and 90x602 DM2 Los Ho- U 27 there is also a +( in a circle) an x and a diamond shape and possibly MKE 38. If anyone out there recognise this shell I would really like some information
