Japanese Artillery Brass Shell

[Neil Albaugh]

When my Dad was in the Philippines at the end of WW II, he went to Corregidor. Despite the dire warning signs not to pick up souvenirs, he did bring back a few brass shell cases- a 105mm, 37mm anti- tank, 20mm, and a large Japanese howitzer (?) shell. This is a few photo of the Japanese brass case. It looks like the projectile/case joint was sealed with wax paper.
