Stuka f Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) No militaria but a boy's thing never the less! Here is a French Christofle silver plated tray, measuring 33 by 43.5 cm. It is engraved with the sigma of the Antwerp football club Beerschot and 7 signatures. I can only read two signature and they are Camiel Raemdonck on 4 o'clock and Henri Janssen on 3 o'clock. Theyre names, related to the club, come up about 1929. And just found out that the marks on the plate (1935!); match that periode. Sorry about the pic's, but they are hard to take and my skill's aren't that great....... cheers |<ris Edited February 13, 2015 by Stuka f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mervyn Mitton Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Stuka - your first two posts have different information - so, I have left them. I have deleted your note about them. Interestingly with Christofle - whilst it is a French firm - many of it's pieces are made in Brasil. Obviously nice presentation pieces - are you a football fan ?

Stuka f Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Hey Mervyn, no sports fan at all! But my wife is! She is from Lier ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lier,_Belgium ) and supports one of the local football club; named "Lierse". We were invited the day before yesterday, by a friend with business seats and accomodation, to watch a tennis game at the 42e ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament My wife enjoyed it,..... I was there........... Cheers |<ris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mervyn Mitton Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Stuka - I must ask you , as I am intrigued by your new avatar. What is it's history ? Mervyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuka f Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Sure Mervyn, just a image I stumbled on, on the net! It sayed it was a chief in Cameroon, on a German site. I know the existence of a very similar pic of a chief in Congo wearing a Belgian cuirassier helmet (the one with the lion head!) so I am using thise one, meanwhile. It reflects much of my intrest in one image; Africa , militaria and humour! cheers |<ris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
