Collecting Shells.

Hello,

My first posting!

I've started collecting 'trench art' shells, and am wondering if there is a website that explains the coding you find on the bottom of the shell?

Any help really gratefully received.

Rob,

May I commend you on an excellent choice of collecting field!! Been collecting for around 15 years now and still learning, but happy to be contacted with any questions you have.

Am no expert on 'head stamps' on cartridge cases, but they are useful for dating and geographically placing a piece of trench art!

If you have more unusual markings, then posting a photo on here will usually produce an answer!

Good luck

James

Thanks James, got into it by accident really, aviation and medals are my usual weakness!

I may well be cotacting you, regarding the proposed collection, but first moving house next week, so chaos rules;

Rob. :D
