This is certainly an earlier manufactured shell than World War I, but it would have been used just the same. The shell measures 9” tall with a 3½” base diameter. The buttons include a German Imperial uniform button and a WWII Kriegsmarine button, alluding that this may have been put together post-war.
A great piece of trench art, ready for further research and display.
