Hello. Sorry to bump an old thread, but this is how I found your site. I live in Houston, TX and was doing some remodeling on my house this weekend. The house was built in 1953. Inside one of the walls was this shell. I believe it to be a HE Tracer for a Orelikon cannon. I cannot figure out Headstamp or nationality though. The primer apprears to not been hit, but shell seems hollow. Can anyone be of any assistance? Thanks!

Hi oompahead,
It looks to be pretty live to me, i would recommend that you get it dealt with by the relevant authority in your area. Looks very much like a WW2 bring back / keepsake.
Best regards Weasel.
