What is the thing at down left?

Bottom left is an all brass VSM Vickers feedblock. These usually have a steel sleeve that was added later to prevent wear from the bullets feeding through. The all brass version is rare. Next to that is a vickers tripod brass id plate and a Russian cannon id plate brought back from Siberia by a US solder at the end of WWI. Above that there is a WWI Turkish Belt buckle, an 1898 scovill fuse, and an 1863 Naval fuse. At the top are three Japanese 75mm shell cases that were brought home from Iwo Jima by a US soldier.
