| It's a nice hungarian messkit with trench art, what more info do you want? Unfortunately I don't speak hungarian so I can't help you with a translation. |

| emlekul - a haborubol = in remembrance (in memory of) - from the war Alsopaty, Vas megye = Aslopaty (a village in) Vas county (in Hungary) Eljen a haza! = Long live mother country (or Fatherland...how you wish) + coat of arms of Hungary+ tulips (I couldn't identify the other thing that looks like a coat of arms). The hammer and sickle makes me think that at least some part of the inscriptions were made in a soviet POW camp. (I certanly don't think that the owner had communist sympathies.) 27 ZA T.J. orv could be 27 zaszloalj T.J. orvezeto = 27th batallion T.J. lance-corporal |
