Well, not entirely true, the MPD marks were used post war ! But not too long.

These are definately mpd marks but probably post war.....

I handled a number of these yellow examples that were to my knowledge all post war. They were identified as surplus used by Red Cross but I cannot confirm that to be true. I have used one for reenacting. NH

Cheers all, so I guess there is no confirmation on these? anyway the black one is certainly WW2 kraut I can guarantee that.

Sorry reneblacky I had not noticed your light ones were marked. But as Tom says there are not wartime.

and

Here are my two complete ones both made by Hans Büllmann Werke, amh.

Hi,
As I know war time ones’ weight should be between 90-100 g, post war ones’ weight is different from it.
Here is war time one:


And a question: could somebody share with us a list of maker marks?

Thanks,

Bakelite makers code markings

I have a few ( two are tucked away somewhere) but one is this tapered thread, 1/4 turn unissued one.
You can also tell if its bakelite because it doesn't flex and you can see the ripples and lumps in the construction ....the plastic injection molded copies are smooth.
