This is a British artillery 25 pounder brass shell case which has been cut down and has trench art design top rim. The case is dated 1941. The primer has all its maker markings and is dated June 1941. It has been very well cleaned but with a tiny bit of discolour but has not been buried. It is in as used condition from the desert and is perfect to display.
The case is complete, solid and it still retains all of its original shiny brass colour. It has its original stamps and maker markings on the bottom of it which are very clear to read. The case is an undamaged lovely example.
The shell case was found on a flea market in Cario in the early 2000's by the Egyptian-Sahara.com expeditions and tours company.
The shell case would have been used by the Allied army in the fighting during the North African desert campaign of 1940-1943.The relic comes with 2 x A5 laminated information cards with pictures including of the original flyer for the Egyptian-Sahara.com expeditions and tours company with pictures of some of the items this relic was purchased directly from them when they were operating in around 2007-2012.
