It was smashed flat and Black and not even mentioned in the handful of rubbish it was piled up with,but I could see that it had Writing on it,so I took a chance and picked up the lot. When I got it,I sent it out to a professional metal restorer and had it put back into round and cleaned,polished and sealed and,as you can see,I am quite satisfied with the results.

No doubt the nay-sayers will again doubt it's authenticity,but aside from actually shoveling out something from the ground Yourself,again,as with all trench art,you have to take it for what it is and be satisfied.
