THIS IS AN INERT CARTRIDGE!  The bullet was originally fired back in the 1940's and this case was found on the battle field or old firing range. A separate original WWII .50 cal projectile (also found on the battle field or old firing range) was added back into it for display purposes only.  The bottom image is an example of the cartridge prior to plaque mounting.
