Ein sauberes Stück! Ist bestimmt vorher von einem gereinigt worden, nichtsdestoweniger selten - so was habe ich noch nie angeboten gesehen, geschweige denn auf einem Flohmarkt. Die Flohmärkte heute sind abgegrast, überteuert und es wimmelt vor Fälschungen. Gibt es irgendwelche Stempelungen darauf?

A clean piece. Looks like it has been cleaned, neverthelesss rare - never seen one on offer, not even at a fleamarket. Fleemarkets today have been grazed out, too expensive and full of fakes. Any stamp markings?

So was habe ich auch noch nie bekommen und erst recht nicht auf dem Flohmarkt!

Das Ding lag zwischen alten Werkzeugen bei einem der allen erdenklichen Kram aus wohnungsentrümpelungen für kleines Geld angeboten hat 🤗

Absoluter glücksfund!

Leider keine bestempelung vorhanden,halte es aber definitiv für ein zeitgenössisches Stück 👍

Unfortunately no stamps, but definitely a period piece.

Hat wohl jemand mal versucht als "Werkzeug" zu mißbrauchen. So ein Teil würde normalerweise unter lauter Werkzeug kaum auffallen! Wirklich ein Glücksfall, und hoffentlich nicht zu teuer gewesen. Ist das Stück komplett, oder fehlt ein Teil? In einem anderen Foto war noch ein Teil zum Aufsetzen, Verschluß oder Munitionsteil?
Jedenfalls ziemlich rostfrei und ohne Narben oder Gebrauchsspuren.

Someone probably thought they could misuse it as a tool. Such a piece would hardly be noticeable under a stack of tools! A real piece of luck, and hopefully not too expensive. Is it complete or is something missing? In another photo there was an extra part or fitting. End cap or part of ammo?
In any case free of rust and no rust scars or signs of use.

Hi Raven, now moved to the correct  section. If some one could translate the last few posts that would help our non German speakers :thumbsup:

On the picture in the Museum you See in Front of the cup , looks like a cap, the grenade wich was used with this item , fired from gew. 98

This shooting cup has no marks on it, maybe taken after finnishing from military weapon check or stolen / saved after war from Destruction?
