AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Set of 5 protection bags for igniters of cartridges (propelling charge) from the US Army – all well marked and with labels from 1942 (two different labels) – in exceptional condition, and a rare find, still bearing their identification labels in perfect condition – these protections were removed before inserting the cartridge into the barrel.
A gargousse is a propellant charge in a bag, containing the powder necessary to fire a 155 HOWITZER M1917 / M1917A1 / M1918 shell, which is the 155 mm howitzer used by the US Army during World War II (the American version of the French 155 C howitzer model 1917 Schneider).
The magazine holder is not part of the sale. It is only there to give an idea of the size of the bags. The latest photos show a US soldier loading a gargousse into a 155mm cannon and an example of how multiple charges could be attached to each other to increase the cannon's range.

To reduce shipping costs, I suggest sending via MONDIAL RELAY.
