Hi guys, would like to share this with you. An item that you do not see everyday, was found in a farm in France. It is not easy to find with that much original color, hope you like it

Did the logo always say "Made in Germany" ??

I just got a 5L today actually as well and posted it just a bit ago. Ironic. Yours is a Luftwaffe issue. FL7301_ _ below maker mark similar to mine. Per MP44Tom yes yours looks like the 10L. I know they were used by Afrikakorps but not exclusively I believe. The Made in Germany Gwar mentions was an old die stamp Ritter Aluminum used until switching to the 3 letter code later in the war. MP44Tom can correct me if I am mistaken. Nice bottle. Cheers and Drink Up!

I love these. Always wanted to add one to the collection. Congrats (and Kirk as well).
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

These are very nice items indeed..... there are a few pictures out there , but they are not common.... all the pics i've seen so far show use in Afrika, but they were most likely used in european theaters as well....
Here a pic i found on ebay

It was used for sure in Normandy by soldiers, in this case Luftwaffe, to also buy milk and water from farms
