Goddamn, they have some good ones on sale now. After WW1 and WW2, devastated communities would make craft industries out of whatever battlefield scraps and surplus they could find. Field gun shells had the explosives taken out before being engraved with floral designs. This one, a French shell manufactured in 1917, was designed to shoot bunkers/horses/planes/tanks. Every now and then you can find some really neat, unique art nouveau pieces for like $50-100.
edit: Oh wow, even just an hour of ketchup soaking made it look so much better. I think the dark section is iron or steel so I need to clean that separately, but the brass came out great:
Defused? But a live shell gives it a much better taste. You're missing out on that!
I'm afraid to touch my car battery because electricity is wizard magic. Handling anything explosive is well beyond the point where I'd shit my pants to death.
37mm? That's the same caliber as flare guns...

They were originally loaded with 30g of TNT. It was the smallest shell used in field guns, but meant to fire into confined spaces like bunkers where the pressure damage is amplified. The stereotypical WW2 American hand grenade, the Mk 2, had about 50g of TNT.
So what happens if you put the shell into a flare gun?
I should get a flare gun but don't have one. This is 17cm long and 4cm wide so I doubt it'd fit. All the internal components of the shell were removed by the artist engraving it so striking it wouldn't do anything mechanically.
I'm not sure this is what they mean when they say, "eat lead."
Happybadger, by any chance, are ye a futurist?
Futurism is interesting to me in the context of industrialising Italy and pre-WW1 techno-optimism, but I'm much more interested in art nouveau/dada/constructivism/cubism/impressionism.

Looks like a suppository from hell.
Everyone who sees it on my fireplace thinks it's a dildo. I've got some neat shit up there and they think a dildo is going to be the centrepiece? Off to the side at most.
