Let’s play a game, shall we

[Altitude sickness]

Close. phyllite with muscovite and biotite, and semischist, a slightly metamorphosed sedimentary rock

What mountain range or peaks

What mountain range? Now that’s pushing it

I picked up about 5 pounds worth of them on the Everest yellow band.

Can anyone tell me what gun this fits.

Well done. That’s out there! The sedimentary origin would throw off anyone not familiar with the historic geology of the region.

30 mm GAU 8?
Just a guess since there are a few similar

It is a 30mm GAU 8. My uncle was a mechanic of F-15E in the USAF. He brought those two casings to me when I was a boy.

Lets see the primer.

 

[flying sailor]

here is something I picked up at a local show recently. Any guesses? No real prizes, sorry.

 

[Wyatt Smith]

It’s been removed, but I’ll show a pick of the primer pocket if it interests you. The casing is aluminum.

Cool! My first impression is ceremonial war clubs. Beyond that- no clue

One of my daughter’s good friends is from Nepal. And a friend here in the coffee clatch did a couple of climbs back in the day… 70s. That’s about as close to that part of the world as I’ve been. He reports, emphatically, “Do not partake in the customary pizza “dinner” nor the fermented yak spirits upon return to Katmandu after a climb!”

Pacific region, war clubs

 

[fourfive8]

When in doubt guess Figian…
If they are legit originals.. cool stuff

 

[flying sailor]

Yes, four five eight and altitude sickness are correct. They are a mix of Polynesian and Samoan war clubs circa 1880-1920's. You can see the effort, ink in engraving, white pigments in others and sea shell fragments inlaid for color. You guys just won another 5 days of cold weather!

More or less obvious what this is. The question is where?
Actually, fairly common I couldn't pass up the opportunity to snap a pic

South America

 

[flying sailor]

Yikes! Southern states US.
