Original British WWII Royal Marines Trench Art Ashtray Mk IV Naval Shell - 1941 Dated Rear Sight Assembly and the wire wrapping aroundOriginal Item. One of a Kind. This is a tremendous piece of WWII trench art, a scarce 4 Inch Mark IV Naval Shell embedded with the insignia of the Royal Marines. The shell itself is dated 1941. The top of the shell has a separate piece attached to turn the rim of the shell into an ashtray. The shell measures 18 tall with a base diameter of 5. The ashtray of the shell is painted and has four indented slots for cigarettes cigars. A really stellar piece
