Made from a real once-fired purple 12 gauge Bornaghi shotshell — an Italian-made hull recovered from U.S. shooting ranges, not a replica. The 6-point star crimp is folded closed for a clean, finished end. A heavy-duty stainless steel pin lets it swivel freely, and a nickel-free steel split ring holds your keys — no cheap threaded eye hook here. The shell is spent and inert, with no powder, no shot, and the primer removed. At 83.4 mm (3.28 in) long and 15.37 g (0.54 oz), it works as a key ring, a zipper pull, or a gift for trap, skeet, and hunting fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe purple hull carries Bornaghi printing, and the metal head is stamped BORNAGHI 12 ITALY. Because these are real fired shells, expect light wear and small marks from firing; that's part of what makes each one authentic. Want a different color?

Every keychain is made from a genuine once-fired Bornaghi 12 gauge shotshell, made in Italy and recovered from U.S. ranges — not a replica, a molded copy, or machined metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat markings are on the hull?\u003c\/b\u003e The purple hull carries Bornaghi printing, and the metal head is stamped BORNAGHI 12 ITALY. Because each shell is once-fired, the printing may show light wear or small marks from firing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy is the end of the shell closed?\u003c\/b\u003e The hull has a 6-point star crimp that is folded closed, which gives the keychain a clean, finished end. The shell is still spent and empty, with no powder and no shot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow is the shell attached — will it pull off?\u003c\/b\u003e The shell is mounted on a single heavy-duty stainless steel pin that lets it swivel, then joined to a nickel-free steel split ring, instead of the threaded eye hook used on cheap big-box key chains. This pin is over-engineered for even abusive keychain daily use. Rated for hundreds of pounds of weight-bearing and shear strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat makes your Bornaghi shotgun shell keychain different from others?\u003c\/b\u003e The biggest difference is the hardware that holds your keys. Our earlier keychains used a threaded eye hook. Even when it was set with commercial adhesive, a threaded hook could slowly work loose and unscrew. Some would even bend. Our current design uses a solid stainless steel pin instead. It has no threads, so there's nothing to unscrew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs a shotgun shell keychain safe to use every day?\u003c\/b\u003e Yes. The shell is spent and permanently altered, with no powder, no shot, and the primer removed, so it cannot be fired. It's a novelty keychain only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow big is this shotgun shell keychain?\u003c\/b\u003e It measures 83.4 mm (3.28 in) overall, with a 57.1 mm (2.25 in) hull, a 20.4 mm (0.80 in) width, and a 25 mm (about 1 in) split ring. At 15.37 g (about half an ounce) total, it's light enough to use as a zipper pull or bag charm without weighing down a jacket or backpack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 0.85em;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSafety Compliance Notice:\u003c\/b\u003e This shotgun shell keychain is 100% inert and spent — no gunpowder, no live primers, no combustible materials.
