Alex K Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Having being bored to death with the latest offerings on the TV about soaps and "Reality TV", I Thought I would go away and a have a look at my"What's in this" box, archive, and found this Attached is a spange I suspect worn by a Vet of WWI. Nothing particularly fantastic about it but it does appear to be authentic to the period, I would guess 1920-1930's measures 43 mm in width, quite like it. it does seem to have seem some original use.regardsApologies if this is brain dead boring regardsAlex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Y Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 It's a sweetheart pin made from the driving band of an artillery shell. Neat little piece :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dond Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I believe most of these don't really use driving bands from fired artillery shells. They all seem so uniformly made. My guess is some businessman saw a trench art piece and decided to manufatcure them himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
