teufelhunde.ret Posted May 17, 2011 Share #1 Posted May 17, 2011 Very interesting piece of "trench art" which sold recently on ebay for $495 BIN. As seen here is the 1892 USMC Enlisted Spiked Helmet EGA mounted aside a 1896 Winchester Repeating Arms Company Artillery shell dated 1896...

Patriot Posted May 17, 2011 Share #6 Posted May 17, 2011 That is an incredible looking piece, and well worth the price. While it is unfortunate that such a rare EGA was used, the shock and awe display is significant. But in 1896 who new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
