W.W.I. Miniature Trench Art Biplane Model

Very nice, original W.W.I. period, miniature trench art model of a biplane.

Trench art items such as this were manufactured by both soldiers and local civilians using brass from spent artillery shell cases. The locals would sell the pieces to the troops as souvenirs. This silver plated example is nicely made and has both rotating wheels and propeller. Wingspan : 45mm. Good condition (nice patination to brass).

Inventory No. A-325
