Title
Modern Anti-Aircraft Shrapnel
Description
English: Copper alloy anti-aircraft shell fragment. A small fragment of a thick casing, thinned to a sharp edge on one side, diminishing in its thickness from this side, and broken raggedly on all other edges. The most distinctive features are a pronounced curvature of the fragment, and a pair of adjacent ridges close to its thinned edge. The ragged fractures have probably been caused by explosive force - such fragmentation would be difficult to achieve using hand-tools. Suggested date: Modern, 1939-1945.

Length: 20.6mm, Thickness: 7.9mm, Weight: 8.88gms
