Impressive Ade, Any history? i'll look forward to seeing what this goes for. Regards Paul
Sadly no history. It has come from a deceased estate.

Thank you Ade, That link you provided was very interesting also. Regards Paul
A very interesting piece. Based on the color on the swastika, I would assume that it comes from a ship and not from a submarine (I have only seen painting on photos of ships so far, and the salt water during diving would probably have attacked the color badly.)
Anyway a great specimen. It's just a pity that no manufacturer and no history of origin is known. But it is definitely a nice addition to any collection and an eye-catcher.
I'm very excited to see how much it goes for in the auction.
Best regards
Wolf
