Shell builder

Some time ago I bought a model of 1907 Scoville fuze. Attached to it is the adaptor to fit the fuse to the 75mm projectile. I paid 15.00US for it. Today while surfing in a militaria sales site I found an un-dug 75mm projectile with the copper driving band minus the fuse for 65.00US. My Scoville fuse should screw right on, so in effect i'll end up with a complete 75mm shell for a total cost of 80.00US!!!!!! When projectile arrives and after I get the fuze installed I will post pictures. I know this is a very common shell, but for the price it will mix in with the collecction very nicely. My point is that with a little patience there are still some good deals to be had out there...Dano
 
OK, but if you make it from two different sources, will it be male or female?
