You are presented with a unique, authentic historical artifact – a military trench lighter, handcrafted by soldiers in the trenches of World War I or II. It is not only a utilitarian object but, above all, a moving document of the era, a testament to soldiers' resourcefulness and creativity in the face of the hardships of war.

These lighters, referred to as "trench art" or "trench craft," were most often made from reused artillery or rifle shell casings. Soldiers, equipped with minimal tools, transformed them into functional and often intricately decorated everyday items. Each piece is therefore a unique item, bearing traces of individual work and history.

The offered lighter is in very good condition and is fully functional. It retains its original character and patina of time, which gives it a unique charm and authenticity. This is an object of immense collector and historical value, ideal for military enthusiasts, 20th-century history buffs, and collectors of items related to a soldier's everyday life.

In our gallery "Lapidarium," several different models are available to choose from – each with a different form, origin, and decorations. We encourage you to browse the photo gallery to find the piece that particularly speaks to your imagination. The price applies to one selected lighter.
