Here my latest find , a Customs Promotion Document . It is of large heavy stock paper , measuring 10 by 14 inches .

This is an important document , since it promots the man from the highest NCO rank to the first Officer's rank in the Customs Service . The name is hand written and each letter has a red ink line around it ;- very nicely done .

Lower section has an original black ink signature and embossed cancel .

..close-up of the signature .

..and close-up of the embossed cancel .

Here now the upgrade in shoulder boards .

..and the upgrade in collar tabs ; --except the Officer one would not have had the star on it .

..and both side by side .

A very nice document Bernd. Thanks for showing it to me on Sunday.

I second that, a very nice document! That embossed cancel is great and I like the Innsbruck connection!

Bernd,

A very nice grouping and first rate photographs,
too, nice ...

Best regards!

Bill
