Large-Caliber Bullet Casing 1

ID: 1082 | This file appears in: World War II Large-Caliber Bullet Casing

Large bullet casing from the side, top and bottom. The color is brass and has some green/ blue coloring around the side, likely from heat. The bottom is round with 3 small circles and a dent, from where the hammer of the weapon struck the casing. The bottom has some words and numbers, but they are illegible due to the cleaning and shining of the casing. The top has a large hole in it from where the bullet resided and has a small lip around the top. Inside is a rod-shaped piece of metal, likely where the bullet was held in place before being fired. The inside is almost completely bluish green and has residue that looks like shavings from the metal. The bottom of the inside has slight scorch marks, likely left by the gunpowder that was ignited. The sides have some smudges and fingerprints.<br />
