Mike Dwyer Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Solomon,Very, very nice! I noticed on page 2 of the statues, after the Furst's printed name, it says Freiherr von Richtofen. Is that the same family as the famous WW1 air ace? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I showed a copy of the original signed receipt, I found in the archive of Detmold.The shown document is only one of a (almost) complete group of documents...I?ll show you the rest, when I?ve collected all the information.GreetingsSolomon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
