As a collector of Jersey identity cards from the German Occupation of the Island it really saddens me to see the attached card. It has turned up for sale by auction and although its a 100% original card at sometime in the past some complete idiot has added a really bad eagle and swastika stamp to it. Jersey identity cards were never stamped by the Germans so this one really stands out. Such a shame an honest item has been in my opinion ruined. I am sure this is not the first nor the last original item which has extra"bling" added to it to increase its value….. unfortunately for me it has devalued it to the point of not being worth collecting.
Just thought I would share this in case anyone is tempted to buy it.
All the best from Jersey,
