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 clearly dated 1940 and coded FL UV around a Luftwaffe eagle insignia. FL UV stands for Flieger Unterkunft Verwaltung, or the Flight Barracks Administration, the agency responsible for Luftwaffe accommodations. Measures approximately 9 ¾ inches tall and 2 ½ inches wide at the base, getting slightly wider towards the shoulder. There is also a maker marking on the bottom, making this an interesting research opportunity.

The rubber washer under the porcelain cap is still present, which is scarce to see. The bottle is in great shape, but the cage is severely oxidized although it does work correctly. Please show caution when handling this. There appears to be a bit of the cage inside the bottle, oddly enough.

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.
