So they(at least the brass ones) are indeed German! Very interesting, and all the more confusing about mine. I did indeed polish it, as it was jet black when I got it. The good part of that was it exposed the initials R.A.H. engraved underneath. It has no content marks, Iranian and Iraqi silver from that time generally doesn't, but I acid tested it as low grade silver, around .800. I did google it, and the only results I found are the other pics I posted. Mine is certainly Allied, but the face is almost identical to the German ones.
