This piece has been forged from a WWII-era armed forces brass shell casing. It is of the very highest quality Government brass. The projectile would have been used in a long-range naval or artillery weapon, and the casing was most likely brought back as a souvenir of the war. Textured and highlighted to show off the decades-old patina. The clip is stamped with the shell’s original date of manufacture. A coin is date-matched and hand-riveted onto the casing with solid forged copper rivets.
Each money clip is hand-made in the USA in the MakeShift Accessories studio in Northfield, MN.
