[UPDATE; #1, #2, #5 and #7 are SOLD]

I have had an interest in military history all my life, particularly the Great War and have been visiting the battlefields of 14-18 every year since the early 1990’s.

Over that time (mostly the pre-internet days) I have collected many items, nearly all from the Great War but some later conflicts too and will be listing other Great War items soon.

I have a number of WW1 British Soldiers standard issue service type spoons for sale in this listing.

PLEASE NOTE THE SALE IS FOR ONE SPOON ONLY NOT ALL!

All these are relic finds from the Somme and Arras battlefields and were purchased by me over 20 years ago.

There are two main variations here - the earlier and larger ‘fiddle back’ (with tab end to handle) and more common ‘Old English’ type with tapering handle.

There are 11 for sale and they are numbered so the buyer can choose a particular one if wished - if not I will send the best example in my opinion (running from 1 to 11) to the first buyer and so on.

[UPDATE; #1, #2, #5 and #7 are SOLD]

These have not been cleaned and some *may* reveal faint markings underneath but I cannot be sure of this.

The item will be very carefully packed in a rigid box and dispatched with FREE 48 HR SHIPPING.  Please see my feedback as a very careful and respected seller on eBay for over fifteen years.
