Description

You are bidding on a VERY NICE original WW2 German Luftwaffe Beutegut Wicker Covered Glass Flask! Originally of French design, this type was reused and pressed into German service after the occupation of France and are associated with Luftwaffe flying equipment and field use.
After the German invasion and occupation of France in 1940, large quantities of French military, civilian, and commercial equipment were captured and reused by German forces as Beutegut, or captured material. French-made flasks, bottles, field equipment, vehicles, weapons, tools, and other useful supplies were used throughout the war wherever practical. Wicker-covered glass flasks of this style were French in design, but examples were used by German Luftwaffe personnel as practical captured equipment during wartime service.
Made of clear glass construction with a slight green hue, this wicker covered glass flask is in EXCELLENT used condition! The glass is VERY NICE with NO cracks, chips, staining, cloudiness, or repairs! The wicker covering remains tight and displays very well, showing approximately 15% loss and age wear, but it is still very presentable, stable, and usable as-is. The flask retains its original ceramic stopper with steel clamp closure. There are no maker markings that I can see. This type of wicker flask is referenced as being pictured on page 96 of Mick Prodger’s book titled, “Luftwaffe vs. RAF: Flying Equipment of the Air War“. A VERY NICE original WW2 German Luftwaffe-used French-pattern Beutegut Wicker Glass Flask…PERFECT for any aviation, flying equipment, or Luftwaffe field gear collection/display!
