DAK Barrel
Re: DAK Barrel
RG,
In the sense your asking... yes, a German 200L. Barrel for aviation Gas (1941 dated)..... technically not Rommel's "himself" as this is "Luftwaffe", but "close enough"... is it a complete barrel or just the "top"?.... are there "more than one"? The barrels would be pretty impossible to display/ship...but the tops (or "text sections" of the tops) would be certianly of collector/display interest... if you were in a position to "do" such a thing... (if these are just buried/dumped somewhere....). I'm sure a nice top like the one pictured would certianly be worth a reasonable amount...but not sure about shipping & customs, etc. in Tunisia?
Neat find, especially if just "out there somewhere".... I'm sure if you knew where to search and had a good metal detector, there'd be alot of stuff in Tunisia to be found (some quite dangerous, too!)...

Re: DAK Barrel
Thanks for an answer.
Well, this barrel is still in use, I found it at the entrance to the traditional home of Berbers in Matmata city (the same place where Luke Skywalker grew up;)). The barrel is near the small cistern which provides water for the home, unfortunately I did not consider the real function. As you can see, the barrel is complete and in my opinion in quite good condition.
