Hello AndyC,
I've contacted a guy who knows a lot about planes and who's busy restoring a Ju88..,he explained this isn't a Ju88 chair,nor one coming from another popular plane in his opinion.
In the light of that he thinks the value is somewhere between 150/300 Euro maybe to the person who might be really interested in items like this.
This is the info I got from him.

A ground dug Farbbeutel. Pretty rough but at least it is real!

Yup,these paintbags were found together with a lot of other survival items which belonged in the survival boat,even the boats were there,though in bad shape.
The ones I saw and owned were still flat and empty,they never had any paint inside.
All stuff,including O2 masks were found close to a former airfield were it was dumped in the woods under the remains of the buildings etc.
Most airfields had a so called Werkstatte/workplace where these items were stored and restored.
I've got some pics from the guys where you can see how the O2 masks were found..

Many were found this way and in this condition..
Masks are all late war,1944,as far as I know.
Straps were all gone,but the buckles and D-rings were there,when lucky the faceflap was still in place and not damaged...,and unfortunately the zink springclamps are always corroded and damaged.
You can find these masks restored with gasmask straps and nowadays there're very good copies of the springclamps.

Farbbeutel

Jos,
I got mine from the dreaded E-Bay about five years ago for £15. So I was happy with the price. It was allegedly taken during a 1970's dig from Ju88A-1 Werke nummer 8095 that belonged to 2/KG77 and was shot down at Folly farm Dorking, Surrey on 27 September 1940. I don't know about the story but it is definitely ground dug.

Andy

Grounddug it's for sure...,if yours still was filled with paint I assume the story might be true,I think another bag with paint was put inside these bags and then the bag was closed with some glue,but if it was one of the empty ones,I think it was found in Germany in the woods and they made up the story...a empty bag in a Ju88 doesn't make much sense..
I've mine filled with cotton balls and it displays well,I wouldn't have one filled with paintdust in my collection...,imagine the mess when it breaks open...
They're rare items though,but hard to keep in good condition,in the light of that one should try to find these items cheap..
There were quite a lot on Ebay,but few were intact,many had holes caused by tree roots growing through,plus coming outoff the moist soil the bags were a bit of elastic,when dried they get very fragile and difficult to handle....,just my experience.

Here's mine,it's rather intact,but fragile,I just leave it hanging there..

Mine is empty and I must say that I am glad about that! It is probably true that this came from Germany then. To be frank, it doesn't bother me where it came from as long as I have one. I have displayed mine with cotton wool balls inside like Jos.

I have seen another one 'in the flesh'. This is at Duxford in Cambridgeshire, England. It is behind glass but has the whole Farbbeutel rather than just the outer casing. Photographs attached. What do you think?

I am always on the look out for a better condition Farbbeutel than the one that I have but it took me years to find this one so I am not too bothered.

Andy
