That's an original Luftwaffe plate that you got there. I sold a butterknife last year who had the same markings on it FL UV...

Re: Picked up in germany in 1977
Hi Steve, I am pleased that you managed to get the pics posted OK.
Nick (speak for yourself ) and Bob have correctly identified the Luftwaffe plate.
The bottle of Rum caught my attention and is an interesting item. The Allied label is a nice touch. Is there a date on the label? I know you mentioned 1944, but the DAK ceased to exist in 1943. I was looking at the "RAAC" on the label. I was initially tempted to attribute these initials to the "Royal Australian Armoured Corps" given the Aussie involement in the North African Campaign, but this would not fit. The "Royal" title was not added until 1948, so back to the drawing board with that idea... But still a great item.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: Picked up in germany in 1977
Regarding the Lutwaffe plate. I was stationed at Pinder Barracks from Decmber 1975 to Decmber 1978. Pinder Barracks was located in the small town of Zirndorf. IT is believed it was a Luftwaffe barracks built by Field Marshall Goering as part of the defense of Germany. If this was a Luftwaffe kassern, and I found this plate in the trash of someone in Zirndorf, it is possible the owner may have been stationed at Pinder during WW2. They also threw away a nice Zeiss Camera I still have, iin excellent condition.
