Military Corkscrew
This is probably destined to be a very short thread. I found this corkscrew marked with the British Broad Arrow and 1914. Perhaps it saw light use in an officers club somewhere during WWI.

Re: Military Corkscrew
Hi MB. Thanks for the comment. The maker is C.T. Willetts. This company was based in Birmingham which was one of the major centres of corkscrew production.

Re: Military Corkscrew
Gotta figure in that time period there was a lot of different products in corked bottles not just wine
