WW1 - POW/Trench Art 'Royal Engineers' Brass Shell Container
This wonderful, very early, heavy 'Prisoner of War or Trench Art' container has been hand-crafted out of two '18PR Mk II' brass shell casings and has been beautifully engraved on the front, with a picture of a large WW1 'Royal Engineers' cap badge. It has also been fitted with a 'Union is Strength' cap badge on the lid, as well as two coins, one on the inner base and the other in the underside of the lid. There are various shell casing markings on the base and on the lid which I have photographed below. This wonderful piece is in great condition considering its age and stands 15,4cm high, with a base diameter of 10,2cm and a weight of 1,73kg.
