This is a simply constructed WW1 submarine. Each end is made of a bullet and casing. The center has a section of shell brass crimped around it to give it shape and body. The conning tower is made from a cut rifle casing. Overall the model is 6" long and a little over 1" tall.
I am not sure what submarine this is meant to represent or even it is supposed to represent a particular model.
See my other postings for numerous other pieces of Great War Trench Art.
Thanks for looking,

Thanks for looking susan. If you are a trench art fan-- be sure to take a look at all of my other postings.

scott-sorry to inform you but both your submarine trench items are fake. many interesting trench items on ebay are recently made.
I agree, there are many bogus trench art items on ebay.
Not sure what that has to do with this piece-- not an ebay purchase nor was the other.
What makes you think it is fake?

Scott, sounds like someone is trying to stir the pile. No problem with your postings, just play time for someone. Well that's what I think. Thanks for sharing your treasures and I'll be watching for more. Kerry
Thanks kerry. I appreciate your input.
I have collected for many years and have a very good grasp of the fakes/ modern.
Scott
Your welcome Scott, I find some people are not happy, unless they stir-up stuff. LOL. I know the feeling on collecting a certain type of thing and then somebody tells me what I have or should say Don't have. :-)
Thanks-- I don't mind listening as long as some facts are provided or if the person has some credibility in the area.
A collector of "pre 1950s plastic lighters and WW2 trench style lighters" doesn't carry much credibility when talking about items other than lighters.
Thanks again, kerry!
