So, besides being cleaned up heavily, anyone think they can guess what the toggle used to be marked?

I like the description: “EXCELENT CONDITION!!!...JUST THE SAME AS IT WAS IN 1945...MORE OF DADS WAR STUFF”

Not that I'm doubting the originality....just wondering why the Germans would've scrubbed the markings off in WWII.

"CLEANED"?

Ed that toggle has been coarsely GROUND... it is amazing that there is any residue of what was stamped there...
