Recent Auction Find - Third Reich Trench Art Fake (updated)


Kingpin

Recommended Posts

Hello all! I collect WW1 British, Canadian, and some French trench art, and am not very familiar with the German variety, especially WW2 era. I came across this item at an auction and would welcome any info or opinions on it. Not even sure what it was used for.

Heard from a few sources this was either made in post war Eastern Europe or India. The sloppy workmanship should have tipped me off!

Hello Kingpin,

Well now you know and disappointing as it is.....I would have bought it, such is life in this market buying and selling with so many fakes about it seems like anyone can repro anything today....we all make mistakes!

Thank for showing us anyway.

Best to you....Desert Rat
