Do you have any pictures you can post here?
It would make it a lot easier to identify them then. :smil:
 
The 20mm is a dummy round for a 20mm gun, probably the Vulcan.
Used for loading training and checking the weapon without firing anything.
 
The 20 mm M51A2 is an aircraft round, a steel dummy.

The artillery shell is a 21cm German artillery shell, manufactured in Dusseldorf in 1910. The 11E is the shell batch number, if I am not mistaken.

The knife/cleaver/entrenching tool isn't any of those things. In WWI, all knives had built in knuckles except on the bayonets. E-tools were small shovels.

I'm not at all sure what that is. It looks modified, though. I'll keep looking and if I find anything, I'll let you know. However, posting it in the military collector's forum would likely yield you more results.
 
thank you, i took your advice and put a post in there as well. do you know what the Rh.M.F. stamp stands for on the artillery shell?
