Thanks for the extra info guys.
Yes they could indeed be earlier or from another source outside Germany. The seller was happy ther were sourced from Germany but who knows. Yes I purchased them in the uk from a guy with lots of original Wehrmacht field and mess gear.
The swatika direction is rather thrown off by my camera work. The pics I posted are taken of the 'far sides', where the pattern is reversed as it continues round. When viewed 'straight on' on any edge, the swastikas are of the German form rather than the reversed type.
Would be nice to track down the monogram on them as this may help but I would think it would be too difficult a task! Thankfully the two I picked up were going for next to nothing so I'm very happy with them.
Cheers again gents
