Don't know, but someone locally posted a good picture of a (supposedly) WW1 AA shell fuse from their garden (pretty sure it was actually WW2); to be followed later by a visit from the bomb squad.
A friend of mine in Penarth once found an unexploded maroon
Hmm, from memory (having broken one open previously), it?s like a brownish resin.
They are all this size though with a ?cupped? or ?flared out? end that looks possible partially combusted. Just wondering whether to toss it in the log burner... ;-)

and stand well back :-)
The "brownish resin" description sounds about right for cordite. I would certainly be tempted to experiment with a small sample in the garden.
Might be useful if you feel a need to assassinate de Gaulle.
I was going to mention that too :-). Michael Lonsdale only died last month.
Yes for the short time it takes to be safe, surely its always best to get the experts. Brian
Are you mad or just pretending. Round here there was a shell found propping open a door in a new build house while they got the furniture inside. Luckily somebody recognised it as a live incendiary device and called the bomb squad. Apparently it was still viable and the only reason it had not gone off was muck and a slight defect in the fuse. These things often turn up on new build sites when old buildings from the ware were demolished, apparently and should be treated with respect. Brian
