Brought back from WW1, they have been in my family on a shelf or mantlepiece for over 100 years. And yes, they were made inert at the time.

They are real. As a kid, it was my job to polish the brass in the house, and I used to make those things gleam. The casing is a little beaten up from someone removing the shell and scooping out the powder.
