Rare WW1 13 Pounder Shrapnel Shell and Fuse, WW1 Militaria Doorstop Gift (A34)

This listing is for a  complete inert WW1 British 13 pounder, the shrapnel shell complete with fuse and the brass shell case. This is over 100 years old and has been fired so will shows signs of its previous life. This would make a great present for a militaria collector or for use as an unusual doorstop. This was bought at a French market in the Somme and has been painted and polished in the UK. These 13 pounders are far less common than the standard 18 pounders and hard to find as a complete piece. The fuse has been secured to the shrapnel shell ; the shrapnel shell can be separated from the brass shell case. which will be the case for postage. 
Relics from WW1 are still being found today, even over 100 years later, by farmers across the Battlefields of the Somme.
