Dog tags - now possible HJ drum?!

Post by blurrededge »

Hello and thanks Doc,

You have answered a few of my questions now and like many others I'm grateful. I have another question that you might have an answer too. I have a small HJ Drum (trommel), its about 30cm diameter. I believe its a child/youth item, unless you know better?!

Many thanks again,

Hello again Blurred..!

Judging by your describtion it do seem to be smaller than the classic HJ Trommel seen so many times in photos and films. See photo below:

I also found this photo of a smaller HJ Trommel. Is it resembling yours? But I really must admit to you Blurred, that HJ Trommeln are not my forte...

Both photos are from http://www.germaniainternational.com
