robins2 Posted 14 July , 2010 Share Posted 14 July , 2010 Just picked up two trench art letter openers, both have insignia of cross cannons with flaming grenade above on top of handle, one has button attached would appreciate if someone can ID insignia Bob R.

Peter Doyle Posted 14 July , 2010 Share Posted 14 July , 2010 A French artillery button at the end of the letter-opener - these are usually quite domed, so I guess they have been flattened out a bit, and a British GS button, shaped to fit the casing. Best wishes Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
