One of Rogerio's favoutites! Used by portuguese troops in World War One, probably for wire telegraphy, as radios were not available then. It is engraved with the logo of the Barriao factory and a serial number, just visible and CEP (Corpo Expedicionario Portugues).
Restored from a very rough condition, here is another fine example of a Portuguese forces' key. Good restoration work again.
