Norwegian Raufoss 2.5 cm Shell Casing INERT

The Norwegian Raufoss 2.5 cm Shell Casing INERT is an original military artifact from mid-20th century Norway. Manufactured at the Raufoss Ammunisjonsfabrikk, this shell casing was designed for use with 25 mm automatic cannons, most notably on armored vehicles and anti-aircraft platforms. The casing is composed of brass, measuring approximately 2.5 cm in diameter, and retains its historical markings and stampings, indicating its production origin and lot number. This item has been rendered completely inert, with no explosive or functional components present. As a deactivated ordnance piece, it is suitable for display and educational purposes, reflecting the development and implementation of Norwegian military technology during and after the Second World War. The casing provides insight into the materials and manufacturing techniques used by Scandinavian defense industries in the 20th century. Its survival in original condition makes it a representative example of European military hardware from this period.
