NO idea of the model.
As Murphy would have it I could not go to the display when this old girl came out of hiding. :cry:

Following the Samba link and some quick googling I discovered this. wow imagine the stories that this odometer could tell. it would be awesome to know if it was used in one of these cars.

Could be :?
The Beetle was part of a display put together by a German Moth group of friends, judging some of the other WW1 and WW2 stuff I've seen them display I doubt it though. These guys trade in the war memorabilia all over the world so chances of it being origional are good.
Will get a few quality photos of the beetle when it comes out of hiding again. :hangloose:
