This is a high-detail, museum-quality replica of a 77mm/7.7cm German shrapnel shell with a Dopp Z 96 n/A fuze for the FK 1896 cannon; their main field gun during World War One. These replicas are cast in a hard resin with 0.00% curing shrinkage, then core filled with a rigid foam. This replica comes from a REAL and rare WW1 artifact shell which I molded with the commercial vacuum and pressure chambers that I have access to at my workplace, giving me the ability to capture every small detail. - Makes an awesome conversation piece, gift to a history/ww1 buff, movie/theatre prop, or display in your empty brass case! ((brass casing in photos is not included))
Finishes:
Unpainted = The replica would be in the light gray color of the resin.
Painted = I will paint the replica to look like the real artifact. I design and fabricate exhibits for museums and zoos as a career, so this will truly be a professional paint job. Then the shell will be clear coated in a matte finish for protection. **Custom paint jobs can be requested.
Size: The replica is approximately 11.25" tall and 3in" in diameter and weights around 2lbs.
NOTE - If you plan on displaying this projectile seated into a real brass casing from the war, please understand that the mouths of the shells are often misshapen as well as the Germans crimped their brass on to projectiles. You may need to open/expand your brass in order to receive this replica without a lot of damage. Also, the paint (if that finish was chosen) will almost inevitably get scratched up on the parts that go into the brass case.
