Gentlemen, I would like to show you two items I recently won on ebay.
The detail on both pieces is amazing, I hope you like them as much as I do.

Padre's chalice for field communions, 1943 silvermarks, 1944 date and broadarrow stamped:

Very nice and scarce pieces! A good find for sure. Thanks for showing these kind of things are seldom seen.

Holy cow...that is nice.

Very nice Luc. These items remind me of the scene in The Longest Day when the Padre goes diving for his communion set in the river

Thanks for your compliments, glad you like them too.

Yes I remember that scene Des. I was outbid the other day on a complete set in a custom made leather case, fantastic set but I'll have to settle for a single chalice for now.

Cheers, Luc
