Krim ring

Don't really know where to put this but this forum seems close I guess. This puppy is on ebay. I am gonna guess it's not WW2 due to the fuzzy pics. Seems deceptive. What do you folks think?

Best, Sal

I wonder if it was made in Crimea or afterwards? I always find it amazing the levels of quality in this type of thing. Like the old WW1 trench art, and POW stuff. Some of it is really beautiful!!!

Hallo Mariner,

apparently a whole "cottage" industry sprang up with regards the WW1 Trench Art scene, apparently tons of it were manufactured post WW1 and its very hard to sort out what was manufactured in the trenches as to what was made back behind the lines and in small workshops post war.

Thanks Kevin, thats very interesting!!!! I have a few examples of trench art, but I have no idea whether they were made at the time or afterwards, one is made out a 1900 shell. Both are very nice to look at.
