Canadian Army Leopard Tank 105mm Brass Shell Casing INERT

This item is an inert 105mm brass shell casing originally used with the Canadian Army’s Leopard main battle tanks. The casing is constructed from brass, a material commonly selected for its durability and resistance to corrosion. Measuring approximately 31 inches in length, this shell casing was designed to house the 105mm ammunition standard to the Leopard 1 series tanks, which served as a primary armored vehicle in the Canadian Armed Forces from the late 1970s to the early 2000s. All propellant and explosive components have been removed, rendering the casing inert and suitable for collectible or display purposes. The casing features visible markings that may include manufacturing codes, lot numbers, and dates of production, providing additional context about its origin. As a piece of military equipment, this shell casing represents a tangible artifact from the service history of Canada’s armored corps during the late twentieth century.
