Diana Pellet Tin finally arrives from Germany

[45flint]

My instinct would be to agree with Jochen and say this tin was probably prewar or thereabouts, despite its great condition. 10-12 years would mean a re-issue and if so, why is it so scarce?

But if the Eberhard is Eberhard Groba, he's a major German collector and his view is not to be dismissed lightly. Is Eberhard a common name in Germany?

Eberhard is German equivalent for Everard and Everett

I followed some of his other posts looks like a very knowledgeable fellow on German vintage guns, lots of posts?

Put a lot more posts on the site questioning age, lack of other examples, if Eberhard is our man doubt he can resist posting his knowledge?

Interesting that the nice fellow in Germany that sent me the tin is not responding to my emails? Seemed like a knowledgeable fellow as well.
