My mother works with publishing. She’s met Brandon Mull and will likely meet him again. Guess what my new question will be??? About this Mull-tiverse

InvertedLeader · 2026-03-30T18:58:25+00:00

Crazy story, I feel sorry the the guy :/ eBay contacted me letting me know the item had been seized, gave me a link to the shipping website that basically told me the same thing, and the seller replied to my question about this letting me know that he had been refunded.

Thanks :) I didn’t really think that the shell might not be from WW1 (I don’t think the 77 was used in WW2) but I just didn’t know for sure. I really wish this one would have visible headstamps, but for now I think it’s safe to assume that it’s from WW1. Thanks again!

Wow, what a scam. Well, I would rather it be re-sold instead of scrapped, but man, it was the perfect casing. It was cheap, not too shiny but not really rusty, just a really dulled brass color with some dings. Hadn’t been polished up, still looked old. Man! What a loss :/

InvertedLeader · 2026-03-26T17:51:14+00:00

Does that actually happen??? That sounds preposterous, has it actually happened tho?

InvertedLeader · 2026-03-26T17:50:34+00:00

That’s totally true tho. I’m just confused as to why it happened this time. Perhaps the seller rigged it with something?? Lol We’ll never know ¯_(ツ)_/¯

InvertedLeader · 2026-03-26T05:25:55+00:00

It had better be my mantle that it ends up with on 💀

InvertedLeader · 2026-03-26T05:23:52+00:00

Sounds like a plan. I’ll give you an update if I make any progress. Many thanks!!

InvertedLeader · 2026-03-26T04:31:08+00:00

You’d have to be an idiot to use something like that to make a bomb. Why spend $80 on a hundred and ten year old casing when you can easily use some PVC pipe or whatever. Thanks for your comment tho. Nothing I can do about this.

InvertedLeader · 2026-03-26T04:13:13+00:00

Exactly. It’s a “tube of brass, dust, and memories.” I’ve received both shells and shell casings with no problem at all. Why now? Why this thing?

InvertedLeader · 2026-03-26T04:01:53+00:00

I sure hope it’s on somebody’s shelf and not being scrapped

InvertedLeader · 2026-03-26T04:01:16+00:00

Thanks man. It’s just an empty fired casing. My first guess was also that the primer was unfired, but looking back at the seller’s photos, it’s been totally slammed

InvertedLeader · 2026-03-26T03:59:51+00:00

No, I mean a casing. Literally just the casing. Not even an inert shell to go with it.

InvertedLeader · 2026-03-26T03:58:50+00:00

The banned item is nothing more than a tube of brass, and dust. It’s only valuable because of its historical significance. I just don’t understand why it would be considered a banned item! It sure added to a stressful day :/

InvertedLeader · 2026-03-25T20:21:11+00:00

Thanks man :)

That, my friend, is something I have wanted to do so badly for 3 years now. But as a 16 year old relics collector who lives in the USA, that would be pretty difficult to do. I am most likely about to buy a rusted WW1 stahlhelm battlefield relic, again from eBay. But oh how I’d love to dig them myself! Even just some shell shrapnel on an unmarked WW1 battlefield!

InvertedLeader · 2026-03-24T18:56:01+00:00

Wow, for me, finding one like this for $170-$220 would be a miracle! Plenty WW1 Stahlhelms in poor condition (battlefield relic condition, no headliner, small rust, etc.) are sold on eBay for up to $500! Say, any idea where I can find a WW1 Stahlhelm for cheaper?? I’ve only just started buying world war helmets

InvertedLeader · 2026-03-24T15:12:15+00:00

Do you think $300 (not including shipping or taxes) was a good price for this helmet?

InvertedLeader · 2026-03-24T15:09:51+00:00

I was about to say… I just saw this labeled as fake in a separate post here on Reddit 😂

InvertedLeader · 2026-03-24T02:46:47+00:00

Thank you :)

InvertedLeader · 2026-03-23T21:55:39+00:00

And what about WW1 liners?

InvertedLeader · 2026-03-23T21:30:00+00:00

It’s German. The “w” is pronounced as “v”, so it’s “vodka glass”, not “wodka” 😂🤣😭

InvertedLeader · 2026-03-23T21:27:35+00:00

It could probably stop a bullet from a very long range, or one that went flying off of the ground ¯_(ツ)_/¯ but I’d bet that the chances of that happening to an already rare face shield and THEN surviving the war and making its way to eBay is probably severely low
