GunShowScavenger Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 I recently picked these up and need help ID'ing them. They are made of a dense styrofoam-like material, similar to what you see in military drop cases. The fuses are made of resin rather than metal. On each shell is a label that reads "ASC FT SILL OK 6 Jan 86." Additionally, there are about 9 pin-sized holes poked into the bottom of each shell. I think it's safe to assume these came from Ft. Sill but what were they used for? Any ideas what they're worth? Link to post Share on other sites
USCapturephotos Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Training aids or display pieces at the fort? I found some similar fake but decent looking WW2 mortar rounds a few years back...carved from wood with metal fins attached. They look good and always wondered if they were for training or maybe a bored GI. Paul Link to post Share on other sites
RWW Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 You are correct, training aids made on the base. A lot of, if not all, bases have training aids shops that make all kinds of items. Link to post Share on other sites

sigo Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Army post TASC’s collectively produce(ed) a lot of training aids, but they are often kept on hand for many years. Not terribly rare, but high quality and some of the few dummies/replicas that are still legitimate military items. Very cool. Link to post Share on other sites
