    Another addition

    Just arrived this 75mm M18 1940 Shell case sadly it has been polished but over all the condition is very good the case mouth is not banged up like most of the shell cases I purchase.
    The one thing that I wish to know the seller stated it is from a Sherman tank and it is marked Normal loading they had others marked Super possibly for the A/T projectile and Reduced loads.
    Anyway the question I am asking the Sherman did not enter service till 1942 then the chances of it being fired from one are minimal at best even though it was used by them.
    I have a feeling it may have been a field piece pretty much impossible to prove.

    Either way its a nice clean addition 303 case for scale

    The maker BB Co I have no hits for can anyone assist with identification of the maker of this shell case thank you.cheers:
