Item Description

A pair of deactivated British Army 2-inch mortar illumination shell cases, each showcasing the distinctive cylindrical shape and robust construction typical of mid-20th century military ordnance. These shells were originally designed to carry illumination rounds, used to light up the battlefield during nighttime operations. The shell casings are made of metal, with clear signs of deactivation, such as drilled holes or removed primers, ensuring they are inert and safe for display. Despite their age, they retain much of their original finish, with possible wear, rust, or patina that adds to their historical character. Each shell case may feature military markings, serial numbers, or other identifiers that offer insight into their production and use. Ideal for collectors of military memorabilia, these shells serve as a tangible reminder of the British Army's artillery capabilities during the 20th century.
