Buster Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I acquired this today from a local collectors shop, it's a small trench art piece, in the shape of a scimitar, It is made using an imperial German 7.92mm bullet, the head stamp is marked S ( for spritzer) 67 for 67% ( case alloy content copper) and dated 10/ 15 for October 1915. Its a nice little addition to my " war chest " collection 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 A school friend of mine in the mid 1960s had a very similar example, it was a French 8mm Lebel cartridge, the blade was inscribed Pommera, 1916 and on the side was a Royal Marine Artillery button. His grandfather, who had been with the R.M.A. - and a recipient of the Military Medal - had made it in one of their behind the lines workshops around the Albert-Amiens area. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
