i was just about to suggest a 105mm HE howitzer round, way too big to be anti-air. it is a round from 1943, even has the lot number from which it came from on it. nice find
those make excellent doorstops, and bookends.

Yes and also I have seen them turned into lamps...sometimes wind up in antique shops
The Naval Museum has some info about this and also maybe this site will be helpful to you

My grampa who's 96 had it in his house for years. I got it from him about 10 years ago.
I just realized it's the oldest thing I own. I don't know why I never looked closely at the bottom before. I never knew it was WWII vintage. |

That is a 102mm (reffered to as the 4inch back in the day) fixed ammunition Anti-Aircraft Artilery round. Used in WW2.
This round was carried in the Tribal class destroyers of the Royal Navy, Royal Canadian Navy, and Royal Austrailian Navy.
The last remaining Tribal class Destroyer is the HMCS Haida, which has been restored and is now a historical site located in Ontario.

maybe for taking out cargo or supply planes? |

| Rich_A |
| are these the rounds that you see in shows like Band of Brothers where airborne planes are being fired upon and there's huge explosions and smoke in the sky where the round detonates? |
