Hello forum. These came to me via a picker friend today. An exceptionally nice, (imo), pair of Great War artillery sabot bracelets, with a design motif I've not previously encountered. Both are roughly the same diameter, however one has an applied eagle w/ ruby eye and crown surrounded by sprigs of leaves. This one also has, inscribed to one side "Vom Felde, 1914 / 18" (from the field, 1914/18" The second has an equally impressive eagle, mounted in an almost three-dimensional style coming off of the bracelet, it too being surrounded by a sprig of leaves. This one however, also has the addition of a very small Iron Cross w/ black enamel center as a pendant hanging below the eagle. I've come across numerous types of these patriotic bracelets in the past w/ the typical iron cross design, but these are the first of their kind I've ever encountered. A couple quick snaps below for your perusal if you can appreciate such things...
