Merdock,
Great group, you don't find things in that shape very often. The colors on the schnapps flask are as bright as when it was made. As stated the original owner was in the 8th Company of the 161st Infantry Regiment at Koln. The alarm watch is very nice, I had one years ago and like a fool, I sold it. The Iron Cross looks like a nice early silver one with the long ribbon which is desirable. Is there a maker mark on the ring?

Hi ,
Thanks guy's
it;s a pity there's no owners name on anything,the watch is in full working order and keeps great time,the Ic2 is ring marked but it's full of dirt in the recess will clean it out and let you know what it is.

Super........super......super. I have a reservists flask that is identical to yours (except mine is in worn condition, and different unit numbers). Don't you just love 'em!!
