I have a bias on this one because I owned it for quite a while and love the Munich Crest, I have never seen another one and it pretty much does not exist other than this one. It is civil though and pretty sure of that and I am surprised I have not run into similar examples from other cities.
Here's a sign that I picked up quite a few years ago in a little lot of items. I believe it is saying that it is not allowed to climb the antenna. No doubts about the fact that its a military issue sign. I have only seen 4 or 5 of these over here but they must have been widely used in German Occupied territory.
I have good selection of original wooden signs from the Island but they won't fit in here I don't think.
Hope you like this one anyway.

Here is one other enamel sign I have. Our greeting is Heil Hitler, I think it says. I only have a few signs like this but as usual they are not all photographed. I do like this one as its not too badly damaged and still looks great.

Here's another enamel sign that I have tucked away. This one was originally on display at the St.Peter's Bunker Museum here on the Island and then the Jersey War Tunnels. Luckily I managed to get my hands on it a while back. Its very basic but still a very nice piece. Hope you like it.

Hi Jersey 34, That is the greatest 'Mit Uns' sign I've seen- great condition and maker marked- outstanding. Thanks so much for posting it and sharing it with us.I agree it is civil and is only the 2nd that I've seen. Did you mount it on the wood backing when you owned it? I also love the Munich crest as Munich was where the whole Third Reich thing originated and these Munich Enamel Signs are a great item -dare I say a great 'sign of the times', Best Regards, MichaelAjax3985- I have a bias on this one because I owned it for quite a while and love the Munich Crest, I have never seen another one and it pretty much does not exist other than this one.

No, that was bought in a grouping years ago by a buddy veteran direct and without the wood backing, he mounted on a piece of solid oak and I did not even know he had the piece for a long time. My first thought was to unscrew the sign and paint the wood black but upon mentioning that he made me feel guilty about what a nice piece of oak it was. I got enough black I guess and just left it be.
Hi HPL2008,
Thanks for that, much appreciated.
