A genuine and highly collectible piece from the First World War this is an original Princess Mary 1914 Christmas tin, gifted to British Empire troops during the first Christmas of WW1.

This example includes the original .303 cartridge pencil, made from an actual .303 rifle round, carefully modified into a functional pencil. These were issued to troops as part of the tins contents and are extremely scarce today.

Tin shows typical age wear but remains intact with clear embossing of Princess Marys portrait and the royal monogram

Includes the original modified .303 bullet pencil

Pencil retains visible detail and is a key component in complete sets

An outstanding relic of trench history and one of the most iconic personal items issued to WW1 soldiers. Ideal for collectors of militaria, British history, or wartime ephemera.
