OllieBeasley Posted 31 May , 2020 Share Posted 31 May , 2020 This was found on the Somme and I think it’s brass but it’s some tube by the look of it. The hole goes all the way through and there is no markings that I can see. Does anybody know what it could be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Foster Posted 31 May , 2020 Share Posted 31 May , 2020 I would agree with TullochArd, looks like vent sealing tube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_H Posted 31 May , 2020 Share Posted 31 May , 2020 Looks like the central tube from a shrapnel shell, between the base of the fuze and the bursting charge. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
