Theodor Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 (edited) Hi guys, I've always liked very much the trench art pieces and here is something I got yesterday. A set of cups for brandy. The tray is made probably from a bigger cal. artillery case, while the cups are from small calliber. On the bottom is written, that it is from the soldiers at the South front, 1917 - this is the Southern Balkan front, seems a group of soldiers has made it for an officer. Chhers About the cups - from what brass were they made, for what weapon? On the botton the marking is D.W. u. M. /Deutsche Waffen und Monicion sp.? maybe?/ and a single letter K. The diameter is about 26 mm Edited November 5, 2006 by Theodor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Hello Theodor,Very nice and can we expect an invite to try them out?Without your 26mm diameter measurement I'd have had an off hand guess at a 37mm Hotchkiss, but obviously not.Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theodor Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 Hi Tony! Measured them again, actually 27 mm, not 26. But still far from the 37 Hotchkiss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 All I can find in one of my books is Deutsche Waffen und Munitions Fabriken which you more or less guessed anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
