Re: Luftwaffe pilots cup
I am Sorry these alumminium cups are fakes that were done about 10 years ago there were alot on the market and also SS marked ones ,their original use was a pudding mold and someone with some stamps makes a £1 item what they cost at the time before stamping into a £20 and they couldnt even get the stamp lined up with the date on this one

Re: Luftwaffe pilots cup
As Kradman has said, its a badly made fake item. There were hundreds of these around 10 maybe longer years ago. They were nasty then and even worse now. Sorry to add to the bad news.

Re: Luftwaffe pilots cup
Yeah I have seen these around for a lot longer than you think most mess hall cups I have seen have a luft eagle better than the one shown and FL stamped. I agree in one post a pilots cup or Goblet is shown as they were the ones given to pilots for honor. This is a item shown probably spiced up ordinary aluminum cup doesn't look right for mess hall. timothy
