Trench Art paper knife with a handle made from a 7.92 mm German rifle bullet and a .45 inch calibre pistol bullet placed end to end. A flattened British Army general service brass button, featuring the Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom, is attached to the handle on the cartridge of the 7.92 mm bullet.
