Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. Here we have a very nice example of a U.S. WWII Custom Made Brass Knuckle Duster, used for close combat in the field. These were often cast aboard large ships, who necessarily had small foundries and metalworkers needed to effect repairs on the various parts of a ship. Compared to their usual work, making cast brass knuckles was relatively simple. The look of the surface texture suggests that they were sand cast, a very old and effective way of casting metal.
They are not perfect, but would have gotten the job done. They measure approxmately 4 1/2" x 2 1/2", and would make a great display piece.
