Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. Trench art is any decorative item made by soldiers, prisoners of war, or civilians where the manufacture is directly linked to armed conflict or its consequences. It offers an insight not only to their feelings and emotions about the war, but also their surroundings and the materials they had available to them.
Not limited to the World Wars, the history of trench art spans conflicts from the Napoleonic Wars to the present day. Although the practice flourished during World War I, the term 'trench art' is also used to describe souvenirs manufactured by service personnel during World War II. Some items manufactured by soldiers, prisoners of war or civilians during earlier conflicts have been retrospectively described as trench art.
All items are completely inert and are in compliance with the current BATF standards on inert ordnance
The ashtray is constructed out of a 1944 shell casing with 3 lovely aircraft carved into it. Besides the tarnishing there is only one issue with this piece, it is missing one of the decorative rounds on the side. Even with the missing round this is still a very attractive piece. There is etching into the sides which reads ITALY 45 and LOVE TO MOTHER.
Comes more than ready for display.
