Chris Boonzaier Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Nice, it must have been used like a credit card? You flash it and can put the stuff you buy on your account. Best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dond Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 In the last couple of months I've managed to track down the author of the "Sponneck Saga." He is Geofrey Harry Sponneck, living in South Africa. He took a great interest in the artifact and that someone outside of his family would have an interest in such a thing as it relates to his family. After several correspondences he has helped me narrow down the possibilities to: Wilhelm Franz v Sponeck (Major General) 1845-1913 Karl v Sponeck (Lt. General) 1816-1904 Anton Franz Heinrich v Sponeck (Major) 1845-1905 Theodor v Sponeck (Major General) 1869-1982 Hans v Sponeck (Lt. General) 1888-1944 He was also nice enough to send me a hard bound copy of his self published work, "The Sponneck Saga." It is a more extensive work then the online edition and is fully illustrated. He has also asked family members to look thru files to see if we can find an old receipt or membership card to finally put a face to this item. A true gentlemen.
