Help with Tauchretter

[Von Thronstahl]

I´ve bought this Tauchretter few months ago. As I don´t have previous experience with dating such objects, I would like to ask you for your help.

Is this pre or post 1945 model.

Tauchretter

Hi,
seems you have a nice original Kriegsmarine Tauchretter in good condition.
Post-war ones looks very different.
Unfortunately the pressure-release valve is missing but mouth-piece has still the original band. Do you have the pressure-bottle and the filter ?

A good page to look for history of Tauchretter and different versions is:

Here a picture of mine.

Best regards
