Digressing a little from unusual old ammo, how about these old shell cases... Anyone care to have a guess? Hints are, WWII and they were used against our airmen. That's a 260 case in the middle for reference.

Baffle out of a 1971 350 Elsinore :)

106mm recoiless

The "baffle" looks similar to a 106mm recoiless rifle cartridge. If it is I did training on these in school cadets. Had a .5 Browning spotter on top of the main barrel. Of course I could be way off the mark ha ha :(

Still see them in service on the back of utes in the Middle East.

The blast out the back was as fearsome as the blast out the front.

@Marty Henry Yep 3.7cm Flak 18, first of that series. My uncle brought them back with him after the war. He probably had a few close encounters with these as he was a wireless operator air gunner (WAG) in a Lancaster.
