Looking for any Austrian artillery shells, both rifled and smoothbore, from the time period of roughly 1840 to 1866. (slightly before or after, also welcome).
Even more than shells, I am looking for all types of fuses, especially Breithaupt, but all other types as well. Breithaupt fuses were used by other countries as well, so I would be happy with, say, a Swiss or German Breithaupt fuse instead. Any condition, ground dug is fine. I have only ever seen some of these shells and fuses as blueprints and drawings, so even pictures would be great. Thank You!Screenshot 2025-12-27 at 8.23.45 AM.pngScreenshot 2025-12-27 at 8.23.45 AM.pngScreenshot 2025-12-27 at 8.24.59 AM.pngScreenshot 2025-12-27 at 11.49.49 AM.pngScreenshot 2025-12-27 at 11.49.56 AM.pngScreenshot 2025-12-27 at 11.50.03 AM.png
