HELP! Need three 8mm Mauser FMJ Bullets
I have a piece of "trench art" I got at a thrift store a while back. You can see the pics below. There are supposed five bullets stuck in the cannon case but three are missing. I measured the two remaining bullets & they are about 8.11mm diameter. I think they are boattail since they measure about 7.63mm at the base. Length is about 37mm. I can't remove them so length may be + a mm or so.
Since this is a military item the bullets need to be military FMJ & not commerical hollow points or softpoints.
I can send you $ to cover your mailing costs & bullet costs.
Also, anybody know what kind of cannon shell this was made from? Time period it was used? It has a couple of British broad arrow markings (at least they appear to be anyway).
Thanks!
