Forceps
Stainless steel forceps with slot slide hold. Souvenir from the German light cruiser 'Emden', which was interned at Scapa Flow in 1919. Although the crew attempted to scuttle her like the rest of the German fleet, the British ran the ship aground. She was later used as a target before being broken up for scrap in 1926.
