That is all the signed pics but what I found out is that this previous collector has copys of some of the SS soldbuch's and copies of letters the guys send home.

And a bunch of stuff I havent even messed with yet.

There is a whole stack of copies of letter that were transferred to modern German.. Too bad I cant read it.

This was done in the 80's love the DOT MATRIX printer paper.

HI,

Thanks for the info guys. Hopefully someone else will help with the missing ones.



Im not too much in tune with the ballpark prices of these signature cards and I dont want to tell folks the wrong thing.

Does anyone know where I can get some "ballpark" prices? I saw that Galland was the only one I could find and he ran anywhere from 500-900... WOW!!

This SS death card is pretty neat.

Disbo,

That's an outstanding collection of photos and paperwork. Did you notice that on photo 12 the image is flopped? - the negative was turned the other way round when the print was made. (no big deal)

Very, very nice! Wink

Bill

Krag, Egger, Harmel, Meyer (not Kurt, Hubert Meyer), Langanke, Wunsche, Barkmann, Gunsche, Siegel, some are duplicates of same guys. Met/knew most of them, published bios in my books of several of them. IDs are correct.

Langanke and Barkmann just prior to latter's death

The SS signed photos are postwar signed, as are these Waffen-SS KC holders in larger format with personal dedication
