A treasure trove of Nazi artifacts was discovered in Argentina. One of the items is a case of harmonicas. Any ideas of the make and model of the harps? There is a picture of them in the link.

It's really hard to tell as they're dark in color and seem to have no markings.

The Hohner ones in the Deutsches Harmonikamuseum in Trossingen have silver-colored covers with a strongly distinctive black swastika on them. Both harmonicas and accordions were used as part of the war morale building effort by the Nazis. I've seen them close up and they're also depicted in books.
