Original Item: Only One Available. This is a May 1944 dated Luftwaffe 50L fuel oil drum that measures approximately 23 inches (58cm) high with a 15 inch (38cm) diameter. The base has an embossed Luftwaffe Eagle with:
5 (logo) 44
(Luftwaffe Eagle)
LE3 IIB
(L in Triangle)
Bears original German WW2 Luftwaffe gray/blue paint with white stenciling that may be Norwegian postwar as we can make out what appears to be the word Oslo. Can is missing primary cap but retains the vent cap. Overall condition is very good with some dents, dings and scratches.
These field oil drum cans are exceptionally rare with only a few known embossed Luftwaffe eagle examples known to exist.
