So I think some more info might get you more bites from the forum members. What are you trying to do... have someone come out and look at a collection? If so, were are you at? You looking for this info as a buyer or a seller... or just for an insurance appraisal? If you are looking for someone to go on location and can't find anyone, I'm sure you'll get some info by posting here with pics and such. May not be able to find an expert who is a pro on all of what you are looking for, but there is someone who knows something about at least one of them on here I bet individually.
Thanks OC, you make great points.
My end result would be to sell them.
I wish I had more info on them. Shells and projectiles are big guns. All 3" and bigger up to 6 or 8".
Dad always talked about them but as a boy youer never smart enough to listen till it's to late.
There is 50 or so military blades.
10 or more military maker shotguns. 10, 1200, 1897, 37 defender.
Most of the collection is WWII and Vietnam with some WWI mixed in. Nothing newer then Vietnam.
I am in Hollywood, st Mary's county. Any help would be great.
Also 3 non magnetic navy knives
With more interest in shell's or guns I will take more pictures. Knives will be a major pia to photo.
For the amount of shell's would be a pia. I know he does not have an 88. He always wanted one.
Hunterjjd@yahoo is my email. I don't know how to post photos

The Ithaca 37 was a civilian shotgun that was purchased by the army for training purposes. They were made into skeet guns to train aerial gunners by having them shoot clay pigeons out of the back of a truck. They're really interesting pieces; I own one myself. I'm not sure what the value is on them.
Ask Black Bart about projectiles.
Is that a Lyle Gun (or line throwing gun) in the bottom of the picture?...the one projectile with the iron loop on the top as pictured suggests line thrower of some sort...

That'll be tough to do now
Best bet is to take good measurements and write down/take pics of any markings and start digging.
here's a start:

The shotguns will be a bit easier to track down.
There's probably someone here that has Bruce Canfields US Military Shotguns book for ID purposes.
These are pretty desirable of late.
Condition and matching parts will drive the price.
The Blue Book of Gun Values has a section on Trench/Riot Shotguns you can use as a basic price guide.
as a teaser, the Remington Model 10 is $3500 at 80% in Trench configuration and $650 as a riot gun
(so there's a tremendous difference in value for configuration, as well as having all the original parts).
Bart got chased.....AGAIN???
Where the heck was I??
What was his egregious sin THIS TIME? (I thought it was a minute since I'd seen him last)

I think he posted another over-the-top pic and got the perma-big-ban.
I hate it when that happens...damn world is flat...everybody knows it...and one fella just has to sail too close to the edge.
Piped ashore for the last time. I hope there's rum where he is.
