Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice genuine German WWII Luftwaffe marked brown glass beer or wine bottle, offered in very good condition with the original porcelain top and swivel top wire bale. Typically clear glass was used for beer while green or brown glass would have been for wine, but this was not a hard and fast rule.

The white porcelain stopper is nicely dated 1944 and coded FL UV with a Luftwaffe Eagle. FL UV stands for Flieger Unterkunft Verwaltung, or the Flight Barracks Administration, the agency responsible for Luftwaffe accommodations. Measures approximately 9 1/2 inches tall and 2 3/4 inches wide at the base, getting slightly wider towards the shoulder. The rubber washer under the porcelain cap is missing, but the cage still works correctly, and the bottle can still be opened. There is a small chip on the lip of the bottle, and it definitely has dirt on the inside and outside, but otherwise it is in great shape, with a lovely aged patina.

These are seldom encountered and would look great with a German WWII display. Apparently many of these found in a French Rubbish dump 70 years after the close of WWII. A hard to find yet affordable collectible from the Third Reich.
