A most interesting custom-made retirement(?) presentation piece, consisting of a large 105mm artillery shell wth a section removed, so that the interior could be lined with felt, presumably to hold a wine bottle. It has then been mounted on to a polished wooden base with two NATO shells affixed standing at one end, then with 19 miniature badges/chevrons from various branches of the Canadian Armed Forces fixed along both sides. A single cap-badge from the Canadian Corps of Signals is mounted on the end, beneath the opening of the shell, where there is also a blank space on the base where it appears a customized name-plate has presumably been removed. A very neat military presenation piece, just waiting for a new owner!
