Pair WW1 `Trench Art` Brass Artillery Shells

Pair WW1 'Trench Art' Brass Artillery Shells

This lovely, very early, matching pair of large brass 'Trench Art' artillery shells have been beautifully hand hammered and decorated with flowers, by a soldier during the first world war. The base of the shells have numerous markings and stamps of which I'll list a few, the one '1916, 18PR II, RL P, CF, JLD, R.A.L., S' and the other '1916, M.L.W., 118 P, DAG,18PR, 30 10 16, V.S.M.' The shell casings have a lovely, polished brass patina and their overall condition is good, with one having a small tear at the top and the other with a minor tear in the middle, but not noticeable. They each stand 29cm high, have a base diameter of 10cm and have a combined weight of 2715g.
