<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSW, post: 2775642, member: 8708&quot;]I wonder if any of you can tell me anything about this match box cover please?</p><p>It is made out of very thick brass and I was thinking maybe it was made out of a shell?. Does it look right for the period?. The coats of arms I have researched all have the lion to the right but maybe there just wasn’t room?.</p><p>It is inscribed beautifully on a piece of copper ‘To Louie from Ypres’.</p><p>I found it in a box of scrap 1970s brass for 25p which makes me sad so I had to rescue it. It has polished up beautifully as it was very dirty and is incredibly tactile.</p><p>Thanks for looking</p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]279739[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]279740[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]279741[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]279742[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]279743[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
