Antique Trench Art Dog Tag Bracelet 1870 Battle of Sedan Franco Prussian War
Couldn't load pickup availability
An interesting antique copper and iron bracelet with military identification numbers to one side, and a figure in an engraved helmet to the other.
It is very likely that the tag was originally a French 10 Centimes coin (c. 1850s) and the figure is Napoleon III, ruler of France during the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871). The word "Sedan" is hand engraved on his collar.
After a disastrous military display during the war, Napoleon III was mocked on coins and tokens. This is a scarce relic from a war fought during the Victorian era.
In nice antique condition and left uncleaned by us. Please see all of the photos.
Approximate Measurements:
Length - 7" / 18cm
Tag - 3cm by 3.3cm
