Hello

What are the differences between a wartime and a post war 6X30 bakelite case ?

Thanks in advance for help !

I didn't know there was a post war case. It will be good to learn the differences.

I don't know either then I should have asked: Are there any post war 6X30 bakelite case ?

You should be able to read that from the producer´s marking in the bakelite.

I have seen a key to these markings in a german magazine many years ago. It must be available on the web as well.

If you find markings that do not match wartime codes, my guess is you have a postwar item. Only I cannot say what to look for.
Apart from the east german border guards, I don´t know for who it should have been made.
After all it would be a definitely military product and exports of such was forbidden. I think that leaves east germany as the possibility.
