    Wehrmacht Lantern Maker Confusion

    I've got a Wehrmacht Lantern made by F. Weichmann'sNCHF, GMBH, Wien XX, Dresden Str 116. The waffenamt on it is 820. 820 is shown as Karl Budischovsky-u. S******246;hne, ******214;sterreichische Lederindustrie A.G., Wien, ******214;sterreich. Obiously this is not the same maker. Is it possible this is a subcontractor for this item?<o =""></o>

      Interesting also is the XX after the Wien. I am gathering that post Anschluss would no longer have Oesterreich or such and may mark it XX?

          Nope,

          These are just Roman numbers ...
          The XX stands for the Gau number 20 (Niederdonau). Wien is in the middle of this Gau. Gau Wien was numbered 41. Could be they numbered it wrong.

          Can't help for the rest, sorry,

          MfG,
          Bart
