Thanks Gordon ...The U 259 one is my favorite .I'm glad you like them.

I think that was the first trip for them.

Is there any way to get a better close-up shot ? I always liked seeing the details in these group shots, funny how many things show that are sometimes overlooked or "non-regulation".

Thanks for posting that.

Wow ..he's a "bigun" alright.

I wonder if these 2 are related

I was thrilled to add these to my collection ..hope you like them as well

----woops

a little water damage ..not bad though

Here's the second book--

Notice the "flag pole top" ink stamp he added ..unreal

I know it?s been said before but ..it?s great being able to share our artifacts in this way and keep a Sailor or Soldier?s memory alive

There are a few other pages but ..don't want to over do it here

He seems to have started researching the ID's as this paper was slipped inside the first.

Hi gents , An older collection was being broken up locally and I was invited to rummage through some of the boxes. Towards the end of his collecting Career ,the Collector had started focusing on KM items. Most of the Collection had been sold off but, I found both of these ID?s mixed in with a pile of magazines and Nauticus books.

Unfortunately ?he apparently liked to play with his things and at some point got his hands on some of those fantasy rubber stamps . For some reason ..he stamped almost everything . KM Charts had fake SS TK stamps added ..one Nauticus even had an SS Sleeve Eagle stamp . I have no clue why someone would do this , maybe he thought he was increasing the value ?

What?s strange is , he was an older Collector and you?d think he would have known better.

I passed on the other paperwork but jumped on these ID?s ?lucky I did because the people selling everything didn?t know what they were.

Hope you enjoy them.
