Hi
I'm rather hoping someone can help me with this interesting piece of 'Trench Art'. It is an 80 mm artillery shell case that has a quality engraved dedication on the brass body as well as gold applied officer's signatures. These are more often seen on Russian cigarette cases. I have shown it to a Russian speaker and they assure me that the text isn't Russian. Can anyone tell what origin and also translate. I have written down the text.
Kind regards
John
