WW1 Imperial German Shell Casing Dated 1917 INERT

The WW1 Imperial German Shell Casing dated 1917 is an original artifact from the First World War. Manufactured during the late stages of the conflict, this brass shell casing was produced for use by the Imperial German Army. The casing remains INERT, meaning it contains no explosive components and is safe for display. Typical markings include factory codes, acceptance stamps, and a clear 1917 date stamp, providing evidence of its wartime manufacture. These shell casings were used in field artillery pieces common to German forces, such as the 77mm Feldkanone. Signs of age and service, such as patina and minor surface wear, may be present due to the item’s age and original use. This piece represents the technological and industrial efforts of Germany during World War I and is suitable for historical study, display, or reference within military history collections.
