WW1 Imperial German 21cm Krupp Mortar Shells INERT With Wicker Transit Box and Photographs

The WW1 Imperial German 21cm Krupp mortar shells presented here are inert examples originating from the First World War. Designed and manufactured by the Krupp company for use by German artillery units, these large-caliber shells were intended for the 21cm heavy mortars commonly deployed on the Western Front. Each shell measures approximately 21 centimeters in diameter and has been rendered inert in compliance with safety regulations, containing no explosive material or functional components. Accompanying the shells is an original-style wicker transit box, constructed to facilitate safe transport and handling under battlefield conditions. Included with this set are period photographs, which provide visual context and illustrate the deployment and use of these munitions during wartime operations. These items offer representative examples of early twentieth-century military engineering and logistics, and they serve as historical artifacts reflecting the technological developments in artillery employed by the Imperial German Army during World War I.
