My wife bought this around 15 years ago at a flea market in England. Now it could be original WW1 Trench art or even possibly a Chinese copy as there were many copy pieces available at the time of Trench art and other aged items on the flea market and collector fairs around England. I got stung once myself with a Rommel bronze bust that still had casting sand inside so looked at other items around for sale only to realise many are fake.
Interesting..my piece came from France.
I've done several searches with both your piece and my piece..our pieces look alike, but searches have not revealed any others. There's a few similar examples, but not the same. And there's some obvious reproductions of this image..
thanks for sharing. It's cool to see what mine is missing..
A lot of these items were made with what was at hand, so I doubt if many were faked and it is not a wide collected item. Also I have bought a lot of my items abroad so I much doubt if a faked one of these could catch me. In Europe a lot of these trench art items were manufactured and sold at fine jewellery stores also, this is during the war. Some of those were killer items also as they were not as restricted with money or what they could produce so they sold more highly valued items.
