    Here is a piece the was my great Uncles. Not sure if he made it or some of his men made it for him. He was an Engineer, not sure if he was building bridges, etc or blowing them up probably a bit of both at one time or another.

    The shell casing is brass (German forget for which gun) and it would look great polished but I'm going to leave it as is.
