I made this for my neighbor. It's a 105mm cannon shell fired from an AC-130 Spector gunship here in Afgh. I am wondering, what would this be worth to the rest of the cigar smoking world if I were able to get a couple back to the states? I'm thinking about putting one up for next years C-A-T auction to repay for what you all are sending me here. It's the LEAST I can do.

sweet...can i haz wun? 👍

very nice..... 👍

OK, now that is pretty cool

id like one or 2, let me know if i can get them sooner and what youd like for them.

Pretty cool looking ashtray Gunner! I'm guessing many would really, really want one of these. Hell, who wouldn't?????

Badazz....

That is pretty damn cool.... careful with kombat though.. he forgets who makes and sends him cool ashtrays.... poor bastid been sprayed by too many skunks

Most impressive, sir.

Very, very cool =d> =d>

Would definitely be interested in acquiring one of those! Well done!!!

That's pretty sharp. Any chance your welder would be persuaded to braze in a rest at each of the notches?

Was thinking the same thing, but hey...it's still pretty cool as is.

Very nice ! like Gimbel and Dave said it might need a rest so the cigars don't fall in. I don't like my cigar covered in ashes. That being said I would use that bad boy all the time and could get rid of a few more to freinds.

I have a friend at a metal fabrication shop here. He wants to try to put in some cut 20mm casing rests on one just to see how it turns out. I'm intrigued by the idea too. Gonna give him one and some 20mm casings and let him play. The pic is after about 8 1/2 hours of work into it. Name is laser etched in. We have a laser etcher so that's the easy part. I was thinking if there was a real interest in these, I may cut a bunch down and bring them back with me. I've got plenty of time to get them cut. I'm really interested in the price tag though. I really have NO clue what to put on them. Like I said though, I'd like to put one up for auction for next years C-A-T fundraiser. Thank you all for the input. I'm really glad you like it.

If it dusts off... it's plume!!

Very nice piece. I'm thinking that would fetch some big bucks for OpFTH. I would certainly be a bidder. =d>

DED

I'm not sure I could wait for the auction next year. I've very interested to see how they turn out with some 20mm casings fitted to it.

Absolutely nice looking.

Nice work there.

My dad used to have an ashtray that he made in WWII, I wonder where it is. Totally forgot about it until I saw this.

Awesome ash tray !
