Imperial Navy-Style Rum Cups by Authentic Models in Original Box

This set consists of two small display cups fashioned in bright copper with silverplated interiors, each standing roughly shot-glass height and fitted with a circular medallion bearing a crowned “M.” The finish is smooth with hand-hammered irregularities that reflect their artisanal manufacture. Both cups sit in a pine presentation box lined with a dark blue drawstring cloth bag, accompanied by a printed card portraying sailors and referencing “German Imperial Navy” rum traditions. Undersides retain matching factory labels reading “Made in India for Authentic Models – Handmade.”

While the presentation leans heavily on naval romanticism, these are modern decorative pieces produced by Authentic Models, a company known for historically inspired replicas rather than period military equipment. The crowned “M” is a generic emblem created for aesthetic effect, not an authentic marking of the Kaiserliche Marine. The box insert references 18th–20th century rum ration practices—primarily British in origin—further confirming the set as a themed collectible rather than a reproduction of any actual German naval issue item.

For collectors, this boxed pair offers an attractive nautical accent with warm copper tones and a lightly aged patina developing on the metal surfaces. They display well alongside maritime décor or in a bar setting. Because production is modern and not tied to German imperial militaria beyond stylistic cues, appeal centers on craftsmanship and display value rather than military rarity.

Condition is excellent overall, with minor handling marks and natural copper coloration visible. Box lid shows slight edge wear, and the printed card has light waviness from age or storage. Both labels remain intact beneath the cups
