Rare WWI 9ct Gold ‘Fums Up’ Charm

An ultra-rare WWI ‘Fums Up’ or ‘Touch Wud’ charm, originally given to British soldiers during the First World War as a talisman for luck and protection. These charms are highly collectable, particularly in gold, as most surviving examples were made in brass or silver. Many have lost their distinctive eyes over time, making this example especially notable for its remarkable state of preservation.
Full of character, sentiment, and poignant history, this charm carries the spirit of superstition, hope, and resilience that defined the era. It would make a fabulous addition to any charm collection or necklace, offering both rarity and a deeply meaningful backstory.
