      Complete 1.1" rounds are uncommon. Unfortunately your projectile is missing the driving band. What is it worth? Depends if you can find a WW2 ordnance collector wanting a low grade one to fill a hole in his collection. I have seen the brass casing go for about $35-50. If complete with projectile in good condition $125-150? Just an educated guess.

      Much appreciated for the names.  I was thinking about heading up there for the show anyway since I’m only about 75 minutes away from there.  Now I have more of an incentive to do so!

      I agree with what others posted. This one looks good to me. I would get it looked at by one of the experts like Brendan Synnamon of the Union Drummer Boy shop in Gettysburg or the guys at the Horse Soldier or even William Leigh. I don’t know where you’re located, but there will be a Civil War show in Gettysburg at the end of the month with lots of knowledgeable people there. Paul

      . hi earlymb,   We didn't discuss that it was more about the expectation of the container arrival, he knows the GPW is all matching numbers, and he seems convinced that the Slat is untouched so I WILL BE very interested in seeing it as I once owned a slat and want to see how mine stacked up against an untouched one..   During D-Day week there were several very rare Jeep models drifting around Normandy, BUT while all looked factory condition all had been totally rebuilt to the nth degree so total originality was no longer there.   Something I really want to see is any original felt around the radiators, sadly some of the recently restored Jeeps I see use material that wouldn't look out of place on the back of a South American Sloth animal.    Norman D.

      It is; seems like a solid base for a restoration though. Any more photos? 😊

      Those documents are fascinating, thank you!  The reports are from Fort Custer in Michigan and Fort Robinson in Nebraska.  In the Ft. Custer reports it lists Thomas A. Sheffield and the Columbus ASF Depot in Columbus, Ohio.  What is interesting to me about that is that I bought these M1938 leggings in Columbus, OH.
