BILL THE PATCH Posted March 29, 2019 Share #1 Posted March 29, 2019 Some stuff I picked up at local auction. I also picked up a ww2 captains uniform with a EOD patch on sleeve.him being in ordnance he probably collected this stuff. Not sure if it came in together if it did they split it up at auction.

usaaf93 Posted March 29, 2019 Share #3 Posted March 29, 2019 hello The "church" is the Cathedral of the city of Reims. It was where French kings used to be crowned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
917601 Posted March 29, 2019 Share #4 Posted March 29, 2019 Your mortar round is interesting. NOT sure, but it may be a repurposed 75mm artillery round with fins added. The fins look to be from an Illum mortar round. It will require research. I have heard of 75mm artillery rounds being modified for mortar use, maybe yours is one? I have no details as WW1 is not my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILL THE PATCH Posted March 29, 2019 Author Share #5 Posted March 29, 2019 Believe me it's not mine either. They weren't expensive I bought them to sell anyway. A couple of interesting pieces for sure. This is the ordnance captains uniform from same auction. This stuff I think was his, makes sense seeing he's a ord officer Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
