    Description

    This Post WWI 1920s French Made German "Gott Mit Uns" Belt Buckle Matchbox Match Safe is in very good condition and also includes a period wooden matchbox. These types of brass smoking accessories were made in France directly after the war and sold as souvenirs. They are commonly sold as German trench art but research will reveal authentic trench art examples are typically made from steel instead of the brass construction found here. The matchbox has come apart at it's top and one of the striking surfaces has come unglued. Please examine the photographs carefully for the best description of condition.
