Christophe Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 Difficult to say.... Let's the expert talk.... The UNC managers decided to distroy the archives of the UNC during WW2 for security reasons (linked to Members). I would say beginning of the 1920s for the 1st type- mid 1920s - 1930s for the 2nd type. But...Ch.
