GERMANY – MATCHBOX – JEWELER’S CUSTOM-MADE .800 SILVER MATCH-SAFE WITH OFFICERS’ REPRODUCED SIGNATURES
This is a match-safe which was used to place a standard box of matches inside and allow a man to display a common item in a very uncommon and decorative housing. It is an ultra high quality officer gift. It was produced by a jeweler and was purchased by six officers to commemorate action at the Battle of Dünaburg.
The match safe easily accommodates a box of matches, as well as allowing easy access to the striking surfaces on either side. One match safe side displays six signatures that are NOT immediately familiar to me. The opposite side is engraved with the legend below.
Vor Dünaburg
Weihnachten 1916.
Since it was a Christmas gift, it is possible that each man whose signature appears on its side received the same match safe. Another side’s edge features a manufacturer’s hallmark (I am NOT familiar with the firm, either), and an .800 silver hallmark.
This is an excellent item that is especially impressive in silver. [Silver was still available for gifts of this nature in 1916. By 1918 even the great Red Baron, Manfred von Richthofen, could not find silver for his cherished victory cups].

This is a glass ashtray which commemorates the Völkerschlachtdenkmal in Leipzig. This is a massive monument which was dedicated in 1913 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Napoleonic wars. This was a major year in German history and there was much going on to honor German’s role in these wars. This monument is every bit as impressive today as it was nearly 100 years ago and Kaiser Wilhelm II and the King of Saxony were both there for its dedication.

This is a brass-toned cigarette case.
The obverse features an Iron Cross and “Verdun 1916.” The overall exterior is dimpled. The engraving is clearly homemade. The case’s opposite side has the owner’s name, Walter Wahl, who served at Verdun in 1916. The case’s closing device does not operate properly.
It is a prime example of trench art.
