<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 347854, member: 54&quot;]I’m a stranger to Finds thd, but here goes anyway.&nbsp; The trench art I’m investigating goes on separate thds but these items, I know about, so they’ll go here.&nbsp; I like to know what weapons expended the ammunition before it was turned into art, so I’ll put a key in the pix below.&nbsp; One of the 3 pieces (no. 1) was created by acid-etching, whereas the other 2 are embossed/repousse, a much more common method.&nbsp; The two large cases are different species of 37mm cannon ammunition, and the thin one I think fits the M1894 German 26.5mm flare pistol.&nbsp; The case is engraved “Craonne 1917” which is another topic beyond the scope of this post, but much info is on the web.</p><p><br /></p><p>If anyone can identify the plants depicted, please post that info!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]117476[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]117477[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]117478[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]117479[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]117480[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]117481[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]117482[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]117483[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]117484[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
