Rare Very Large WW1 Artifact Sculpture
Please feel free to make an offer. A Scarce Example & Fresh to the Market. A Rare Very Large WW1 Obstacle artifact. This should really live in a Museum as these rarely come up for sale of this size. These were used to puncture & deflate pneumatic tires on motorized vehicles & prevent or reduce movement of the enemy. A relatively new addition to the WW1 battlefield. I believe they were also used for defense in sieges, where they could be thrown into breaches in fortifications to impede storming parties. This is approx 14 at its two longest points. Quite sculptural in its form. In expected used condition for an item of this age & nature. There’s some expected historical damage of three spikes are missing however this is quite useful as it sits better where the spikes are missing. Made from wrought iron & rivetted together. It’s also had a gentle waxing. Please study the images as they also form part of the description & please do your own research.
