Third Reich Postal Issues

This is an example of what you have to watch out for when purchasing on ebay or from other venues. There is someone over bidding on this item and I don't believe he realizes that the entire cover is a forgery. This Feldpost Admission Stamp for troops in North Africa is, in my opinion, the rarest of T.R. stamps and it was rarely, if ever used on envelopes, only on packages. Thus the name "Tunis Paken". The Palm stamp "Palmenstempel"is also bogus. The second one is also completely bogus. Made to appear as a label on a package.

Two interesting Kennkarte

Guys,

I have rediscovered these two in a folder, they have been on my 'to do' list for a while.

I found both in Hanover at different times.

I must research them, its the least I can do, its just one of those things I put off for one reason or another, perhaps they make me uncomfortable about what I will discover!?:(

Regards

Jock:b:

relic helmet wit black paint and battle damaged?

This was given to me a couple of years ago. Npt sure if it is battle damaged or simply damaged. The outside has been brushed and there is no paint left, but on the inside interestingly the paints looks to be black. It might also be that the original paint turned into black due to colour degradation...

Is this Luftwaffe buckle good?

I just bought a canteen from a guy on ebay and I mentioned that it was going on display with some of my Luftwaffe items because it was named to a flak gunner. Well he said he had a buckle that he would be willing to sell. He sent me pictures and I wanted to run them by everyone. I think it seems fine but I've been fooled before:b:
