Here's a new one, Reichsverband Deutscher Offiziere (RDO) The silvering isn't as bright as the scan shows, that's down to the glare from the scanner. Cheers Don

Stunning........ Not quite in that league, but while in M?nchen a couple of weeks back my wife picked up a couple of vases. here's one. Painted vase number 502. Interesting to note the variation of the painted rings from John's however I guess that they were hand done. Cheers Don

I agree with Rosenberg. I've seen the coin with this box before but unfortunatly, as I'm not into this sort of thing never kept the image. The tinnie is a nice one as well, I have also seen a cased non portable version of this. Cheers Don

An excellent & informative thread Bill, thank you very much. Without asking you to give away too much info, & forgive a me for possibly a stupid question (remember I'm a cloth virgin ) is there any particular trait to look for on the obverse or reverses when checking for originality? Or is it down to quality of the work & material etc Thanks again. Don

Yes I saw it, & passed rapidly on........ Cheers Don

Hi Klin, Firstly, let me welcome you to the forum, I hope that you will enjoy it here. It's never too late for this thread, in fact I hope that this one will grow enough to warrent a seperate area on the froum eventually Nice piece you have there, I know someone here who would love one of those (are you out there JTW? ) Thanks for showing it. Cheers Don

My apologies Gentlemen. It's my age you know Cheers Don

Ahhh Chris, at last you've now spotted the Nazi undertones which exist in those books............. Cheers Don

No real problem Pat, I'm sorry for nagging...... Thanks for understanding Cheers Don

Dan, The 1984 tinnie should be in the Post 1945 forum not here. As you've already posted it there I've removed it from this section. Cheers Don

Rosenberg has very kindly provided me with a translation of the tickets: This coupon can only be exchanged in the following goods, food, cloth and heating material. It has to be exchanged with these goods in equivalent value. Paying out any value differences is prohibited. Violation of that is a crime. The Coupon can be used with any associated shop until 31 December 1939. Billing of the Coupons received is based on the rule on the backside........... The reverse: Name of Receiver: xxxx needs some time to decipher xxxxx The recovery of the value exchanged with this Coupon will be processed latest by January 15th 1940 via every partner of the Reichsgroup "Banken"-most banks nationwide- When returning more than 100 Coupons this has to be done in a bundle. The partner institutes will deliver the returned Coupons to the main divisons latest January 31st 1940. The final recovery through the Reichsbeauftragten WHW will be processed through the main divisions latest Febraury 15th 1940. Now the right half where the Gra?l stamp is: I hereby state to have received the following goods in exchange for this Coupon: Food, Cloth, Heating material. So there you have it! Thanks Dan Cheers Don

Hi Bob, Nice hats. Is there any chance of a closer shot of the badge that's under the SS patch that the ladies are wearing please? Cheers Don

Same value but dated 15th Jan 1940

A different design & value, dated until 15th April 1940

Here are some vouches/tickets that I picked up on a recent trip to Munich. I believe them to be a sort of ration ticket or gift voucher issued by the WHW to buy supplies with. Hopefully someone here maybe able to confirm or dispell this idea. Cheers Don

It's definitely a match! Right down to one short leg of the "M" in RZM & the round bottom to the 5 in 85. Nice one. Don

Hi Bill, First of all let me welcome you to the forum, I hope that you will enjoy your time here. I for one would love to see more as I know absolutely nothing about cloth, but have always admired the Polizei insignia. Thanks for showing these & I'm looking forward to seeing more. Cheers Don

A valuable resource indeed Stephen. Cheers Don
