Download Germanium Power Devices short  2N1302 .pdf datasheet: 

Status: NOS (New Old Stock) 

Individually tested components: YES  (* see below note)      

RoHS compliant: no   

* Note, if tested on a Peak DCA75 these may show up as a silicon device as these 2N1304 Vbe thresholds are just hovering around the borderline (0.55V) which determines what is a Silicon or a Germanium device, gently heating or cooling the device can change the material reading (We tried it)  Don't be put off by this, as these are all GERMANIUM, from the same  military client.  These are the real thing !   so yes, they are more expensive than those unbranded items sold on internet auction sites.
