Hans: I have 3 Wooden practice/dummy shells from 1944. They have a metal bottom on them and a metal collar at the top. The bottom is stamped HMC 3" Dummy, plus some other stamping. They stand 35" tall and are in excellent shape. I keep them by the front door and sling one over my shoulder when the JW's come a knockin. I'm selling these for a friend and he wants $100.00 each. You can contact me at
rob.mor@shaw.ca if you would like some pictures. Cheers....R (PS: I'm in Vancouver)
