Today I found two nazi nitrogen bottles at work. The swastikas were filled in post-war.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t Febuary of 1953 have been a little late for a swastika stamping? Or was that there before the test date stamps?
This is a Nazi stamping. They are still in circulation. Those date stamps are changed constantly. I work for the company that owns them. They are old as shit. We are based out of Germany and they pop up every now and then but most have been recycled.
Metal lasts forever as long as you don’t use CO2.
But why does it say 2 - 53? Is it the due date and the bottle was manufactured in 1943?
That is when the retest is due. You can see at the bottom the latest one is 08. So it’s been in circulation for 70 years. Black is nitrogen in international standards. So very believable.
