I recently came across this bunch of old European shotgun Shells at an auction. Does anyone out there collect these of have any knowledge of them? If so please leave a comment below. I am going to do some research on them when I get the time but for now they look pretty neat in my miscellaneous display. I would assume the Leon Beaux Milano one is from Italy and a couple look to be from France. The names and markings are as follows in order of the picture left to right in the top picture. Headstamp Fiocchi Lecco 16 marked on side PER POLVERI GRANVLARI DENSE (purple shell on far left)
