Item Description
Original Item. One-of-a-Kind. This is a really gorgeous German artillery shell which has been adorned on one side with the GOTT MIT UNS emblem off of a German belt buckle, as well as three German “Pfenning” coins and seven buttons. Like all deactivated ordnance, this shell is Not Available for Export.
The bottom of the shell reads:

SEPT. 1909
MAGDEBURG

This is certainly an earlier manufactured shell than World War I, but it would have been used just the same. The shell measures 9” tall with a 3½” base diameter. The buttons include a German Imperial uniform button and a WWII Kriegsmarine button, alluding that this may have been put together post-war.
A great piece of trench art, ready for further research and display.
