Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice genuine German WW2 Luftwaffe marked beer / wine bottle offered in very good condition, complete 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 faintly 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 10 3/8 inches tall and 2 5/8 inches wide at the base, getting slightly wider towards the shoulder. There is also a faint maker mark marking on the bottom, making this an interesting research opportunity.

The rubber washer under the porcelain cap is still present, and unlike most we see, the rubber is still quite soft! The inside of the bottle also still has the dirt that was inside it when recovered. There is no chipping or other damage we can see, and aside from the wear to the top of the stopper, this is really a great example.

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.
