Here is the Urkunde for crossing the Equator. Interesting in being done on cloth rather than the usual paper document.

And the doc for operating in the Arctic.

The Equator documents on board U-Boots are less common than surface ships, and the support used for the first document is really unusual.

If I remember it well, this documents was in a small group sale by a Swedish dealer for the first, and a german dealer for the second. Can you post more ?
