Great find. Have come across a lot of smaller ones but never one that size. Congrats

Tom that's awesome.  Drop it from the top of the house and see if you can get the Doppler effect.  Freak out the neighbors a little.

Nice find, I have just the perfect place for one:)

Eric it good to hear your son is a collector of WW2. There are to few young new collectors now days in that. First its almost cost prohibitive to start. Two, it's getting harder to find it out undiscovered. Three, the out right fakes are everywhere and the ones from the late sixties and early seventies are getting patina that can fool new collectors.
  And when it comes to German Lugers they are a collecting field all their own. And why buying $100 reference books pay for themselves. I know a few good forums he can join that are full of information on the subject just let me know.


Steve,

Just came across and picked this one up today. Not as big but it's all about how you use it

Nice one! If you have seen the video's of bombs falling out of racks on B-17's same as this practice one. Impact detonation mainly. HowDueYouDue, yours looks like a later sonor that would have been dropped by the the PBY,s.

Fun but spendy side pieces are the wood training field gun shells. Agree prices are high and fakes common.

Eric, I owe you some things for your son.  PM addy. Thanks!
