Original German WWII Luftwaffe FL UV Marked Green Glass Wine Bottle - dated 1944
-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice genuine German WWII Luftwaffe marked green glass wine bottle, offered in very good 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. However, due to the size and shape of this bottle, we are fairly certain that it was used for wine.
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. There are also what look to be remnants of a label on the bottle exterior. Measures approximately 11 inches tall and 2 7/8 inches wide at the base, getting slightly wider towards the shoulder.
The rubber washer under is mostly missing, with just some remnants remaining. The cage still works correctly, however with the washer not really present, it does not "lock" closed anymore. These are seldom encountered and would look great with a German WWII display. Apparently many of these found in a French Rubbish dump 70 years after the close of WWII. A hard to find yet affordable collectible from the Third Reich.
