Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice genuine German WWII Luftwaffe marked large green wine or beer 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. Measures approximately 13 1/2 inches tall and 3 1/2 inches wide.
The rubber washer under the porcelain cap is still present, but it has deteriorated over the years. These are seldom encountered and would look great with a German WWII display. Apparently found in a French Rubbish dump 70 years after the close of WWII. A hard to find yet affordable collectible from the Third Reich.
