I was thinking it might be 2 Reserve Division...
Never seen anything like it before.. The holes in the spike itself are of no use too, since the base is solid..
So ventilation is out of the question.
To me it is a repro too. It looks well made though...
I know Lars, it's just the way E-bay works. I was on it, and had the highest bid, but somebody had a bid that was higher. And so I lost.
I would have liked the book to be here, but hey, another one will for sure show up.
And then I'll be prepared.
Have a nice evening all!

Thanks for posting this one! I like these ersatz examples a lot! And this one looks great indeed, a time-traveler from many, many years ago.
And still in a great condition!
