Default Is this dangerous?

Hi Guy's,
I was given this a couple of years ago, Do you think it will be OK to keep at home?
Regards
Irv

It should be empty but always wise to check, the fuse should unscrew, so hopefully you can see inside. Nice looking shell

Hi Lee,
Sorry but I was having a little fun
You are right it is a good looking shell, with a twist It's a rubber copy!

I bet it would still hurt if you dropped it on your foot

That is one superb replica - I'd buy one! If you peer very very (very) hard at the bottom of Irv's shell and you can see where the paint has worn off to the rubber below.

Wouldn't you love to know which one it was in the picture
I think they were only seen with these markings in one scene. The other shells had no marking so this one is easy to pick out.
