I would like to thank everyone in advance!

I attached 4 pictures.

Here is what can be identified off the top of the tank. (My comments are in parenthesis)

Druckluft (Compressed Air) TG (???)

F. 150 (?????) P.225 (BAR ???)
G.17.8 (weight kg?) L. 15 (Liters?)

5.91 Manufacture Symbol/Stamp 93


Would like to know all the following if possible
1) Manufacture
2) Size
3) Pressure
4) Will I have trouble filling these at any dive shop after hydro and visual.
4) Am I missing anything?

I plan to take all this information to my LDS and find out all of the following
1) Will they hydro, visually inspect and fill these tanks?
2) How much will this all cost?

Then I can determine if they are worth purchasing.

Thanks again,

Charlie

That isn't a US DOT tank. You won't be able to get it hydrostatically tested in the US.
It isn't able to be filled legally in the US.
 
Is that valve available somewhere? Love an integrated gauge.

I sold two of them yesterday.
Scubapro sold them in the 70s and 80s. Neat idea with poor execution. The tiny little O-ring that seals the tube has a proclivity to leaking and is an absolute mother to replace.
They were made primarily for 2250 psi tanks. There were some 3000 psi variations produced, but most were low pressure.
