WW1 “Bullet Pencil” from Christmas Tin

One of the items found in the Princess Mary Christmas Gift Tin, this example is exceptional in that the pencil section is what appears to be a custom made propelling pencil. Perfectly fit to the “crown over M” cartridge case, the mechanism is a masterpiece of miniature engineering, and still operates perfectly.
