Shells and bomb fins

Ran across these finds while rummaging around in the shed. Long ago stacked and forgotten ammo crates. The best part was the contents, although I do love me some crates. The first find was these 75MM Japanese shells. Wondered where they'd gotten off to.

If memory serves, acquired way back from an outfit in Georgia(U.S.) that was selling them for brass scrap. Said they had a couple thousand of them. I think I got a dozen.

The next crate had some bomb fins, as marked. I can't remember where I got these. Everything was from a long time ago. Hell, I forgot the Alamo!
Anyway, some cute little fins. Not sure what they went to.

Guess I'll have to go out there again, on a mission, and sort through all the crates, just to see what I've forgotten about.
