The parts came for the Big Bang cannon. This is their 155mm model.

I went to the WWII weekend yesterday but they have a flea market there so I did manage to get something. Two 30mm dummy shells, one is mostly plastic but both weigh about the same so they are weighted down. First I've encountered with the "shell" intact. I have a few spent casings somewhere.
And my usual Sunday haunt turned up this Civil Defense NYPD helmet. Don't know much about the history of it, first I've seen. A few are listed on the internet but no information on when they would have been issued, during the war or after. I posted more photos in the gear section along with the names of two patrol officers it was issued to.
Functioning rounds for the Gau 8. I have one here too, among the 30mm examples...
