Base has been filled out with plaster at a more recent date, also two holes for wiring and electrification have been crudely drilled into the object at presumably a post-WW2 date, wiring since removed. The base is finely engraved with a gothic v.K. for an aristocratic name, the opposite side of the base has the commemorative date - d. 24t.

Fritz Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 A set of cuff links, ca. 1900, Silver and Gold, each in the form of a cavalry or artillery officer Kartuschkasten, solid silver with crowned FWR monogram in gold. Not official, probably privately juweller made. No discernable silver marks, but certainly silver and gold, patina between the details of the monograms. Unusual. Case is not original, but from the late 1960s. Most certainly worn by a former cavalry or artillery officer. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
