WW1 Tobacco Tin with Contents of One Soldiers Personal Kit Knick Knacks including Dog Tags, Bullet Knife and Wound Stripe - Attributed

A wonderful complete survivor from a WW1 soldier as found in its orgiinal tobacco tin. The dog tags reveal him to have been one Pte Theodore E. MacDonnell and he served with a number of regiments: the KRRC, 3rd London Regiment and Royal Fusiliers (copy of MIC supplied). He was entitled to a BWM and VM medal pair. Contents include his rifle cleaning pull through, various pencils, a cloth company shoulder flash in red cloth, a brass wound strip on its backing plate, a head of a bristle brush (perhaps for cleaning his kit) and a bullet fashioned into a small knife (reminiscent of the gift box bullet pencils but not from that particular stable). Blade length is just under 4.5cms. A miniature leather covered calendar for 1918 with pencil attached ('Mac' in pencil on final page). Tin rusted and transfers worn, but still functional. A super collection of WW1 items attributed to one man. Worthy of further research.

Please note on account of the bullet knife and weight generally, I will only post this item to a UK address. Also please note I will not split the contents.

Proof of age required (over 18s only) on account of the small blade.
