Original Item: Only One Available. Genuine German WW2 Luftwaffe marked beer / wine bottle offered in excellent condition with the original porcelain top and swivel top wire bale. Typically clear glass was used for beer while green or brown glass would have been for wine, but this was not a hard and fast rule. The white porcelain stopper is nicely dated 1944 and coded FL UV with a Luftwaffe eagle. FL UV stands for Flieger Unterkunft Verwaltung, or the Flight Barracks Administration, the agency responsible for Luftwaffe accommodations. There are also faint maker and lot markings on the bottom, making this an interesting research opportunity.
The rubber washer under the porcelain cap is still present, but it has deteriorated over the years. The inside of the bottle also still has the dirt that was inside it when recovered. These are seldom encountered and would look great with a German WW2 display. Apparently found in a French Rubbish dump 70 years after the close of WW2. A hard to find yet affordable collectible from the Third Reich.
