105MM M14 shell
Just got this fairly nondescript 105MM shell that was fired in an M-137 Howitzer mounted in an AC-130 gunship. I cannot speak to the specifics of the gun, load data or projectile but am confident the case was base marked, as it was, for good reason.
The most interesting aspect is the letter that was inside the hull. A Memorandum For All Personnel from the Dept. of the Air Force. It notes that this type shell, along with the 40MM, 30MM and 25MM shell casings from AC-130 aircraft were henceforth not subject to restrictions against acquiring "War Tropies/Souvenirs" with specifics regarding demilling and certification(s) which included removal of the primer. This particular one has only had the center of the primer drilled out , luckily. The letter is signed by "certifying" EOD technicians on 30DEC06. The letter notes at the bottom that this is for a 105MM #1680, which is "etched" into the base.
My initial thoughts were I had paid too much, but after finding this little prize inside, it will stay in the collection for a while.

Unknown Tinnie… Needs Translation
Another tinnie..........
Not sure what it was for but I'm guessing a memorial of some kind ?
It's a very thin hollow-back bronze type alloy with a crude pin.
I'm not sure of the exact spelling:
"Denkmalweihe u.Bezirkstreffen d.h.s.i.w. Sichelsdorf 30. Mai 1937."
Any help in translation would be appreciated !

Quick Question
Hello,
At a local auction next week they have a lot of German helmets but they have been refurbished. How would i tell whether the helmets are real with just post war/fake paint or if the helmets are 100% fake. Thanks for any help

Gauleiter Hans Schemm Tinnie……….
There have been a few tinnies on lately, so, here's another..........!
I had no idea who this was or even what it related to when I bought it,
but after a web search, found that he is Hans Schemm, and was once
the Gauleiter of Bavaria, This is a memorial pin, as he died in a plane
crash in 1934. The legend reads: "Hold true to one another".
Similar pins have only his name and the date, and made of different
material. It is very nicely executed of die stamped bronze with
great patina, and has a plain reverse with wire pin.
Shown also is a period photo.
