Please can anyone help identify these shell cases? We have been told they are WW2. After a house fire (they were undamaged) and put into storage by the insurance company but were returned rusty. They were taken back to be restored but cannot be found. Any information about them and an indication of value would be appreciated as we need to claim for their replacement value.

It is hard to tell without a sense of scale, my first guess is an HE round from a US 75MM M3 cannon. .....most commonly found in the Sherman tank. I am basing that on the proportionally small straight sided case relative to the shell and the fuse on the end.. Please, I am no authority on this so someone else needs to chime in. No idea of value.. Gaines
Some providence might give them some historical or sentimental value. By searching online auction or militaria sites you should be able to find a value to submit to the insurance company even if it's pretty low.
