An engraving in the bottom of the bowl reads: "NEVER IN THE FIELD OF HUMAN CONFLICT WAS SO MUCH OWED BY SO MANY TO SO FEW" Ð WINSTON CHURCHILL. It is also noted that the ashtray was: MADE FROM A ROLLS-ROYCE "MERLIN" ENGINE PISTON AS USED IN THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN Ð AUGUST-OCTOBER 1940. At center is a seal for the RAF and RCAF, and three deep grooves run all around the outer edge.

7-(Very Fine-): The ashtray shows some small spots of moderate wear and tarnish.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
