Shed find

I've just spent the last few weekends clearing out the shed and knocking it down to make way for a nice new one. Luckily I noticed this before binning it :tinysmile_cry_t: It cleaned up quite well!
Its the top bit off one off the fuze for one of the WW1 German 77mm shells.
Its a great way of collecting.........if you can't find anything to buy then go and rediscover something you'd completely forgotten about.

Keep a careful eye open.

Do I detect a new "Annex" in the planning stage ???
Nice find too, I wonder what other goodies you will stumble upon?
Keep a look out for a 175 for me as who knows what you have stashed out there-you evidently don't !:eek:

Nice one Dave.:hmmmm2:

Thanks Chris I think this one fell out of a box a while back, no such luck with any 175's though.
