Canon shell

[AdrianF]

I am looking for a large calibre artillery shell 5" or better. Need it for a birthday present. Anyone got one kicking around they want to sell me?

I found that with a search for Artillery shell. This might interest you as well http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/croydon/collectables/world-war-1-1918-trench-art-vase/1027086061

Not really.

I have a 5.9 inch shell that I recovered from the wreck of the Dutch Cruiser HMNS Java. I cut it down and now use it as a wine bottle cooler.

Sorry, it's not for sale!

Cheers,
Jason.

That's ok I need one that as not been modified. Was bidding for one on eBay but eBay pulled the item as not within their rules :shrug:

Adrian,

Have you tried to "message" the seller to resolve this outside of Ebay?

[AdrianF]

Can't even find the item anymore. But one I found since is the projectile from a shell.... That appears to be ok by eBay
