1799 (May 13) pre-stamp folded cover with complete contents, a business letter to a wine merchant in Bordeaux, France. Datelined from Flensburg, Denmark (Schleswig-Holstein), and as typical transiting HAMBURG where a wonderfully clear "DÆNNEMARK" handstamp was applied (thus acknowledging Denmark as the origin country). From one of the few business archives that survived multiple wars. Examples of such use from Schleswig-Holstein is scarcer and very much sought after as Flensburg is now part of Germany. Excellent quality and very attractive for an item 220 years old! |

WWII German Soldiers Covers Complete With Letters: Group of 8 covers in excellent quality, complete with letters, dating from March 1942 through July 1944. Two with town cancellations (and also with military mail markings) and six with FELDPOST (field post -- military) cancellations. This is all correspondence within one family. I have not tried to translate any of the letters, but I can imagine they range from the mundane to a fascinating glimpse into German military life. While these types of cover are usually not scarce, they are often in poor quality (because of the paper usually used) and no longer contain their original letters. [This is part of a larger group of this family correspondence, including regular covers, pre-printed post cards, and pre-printed letter sheets. The entire rest of the group can also be purchased at a very favorable price. Please inquire if interested.] |

WWII German Soldiers FELDPOST Post Cards, With Messages: Group of 11 pre-printed "Feldpost" (field post - military mail) post cards for soldiers use. All with messages (on the front and/or back), dating from June 1942 through October 1944. ALL 11 ARE DIFFERENT in some way: the design, style, and method of printing; the edition number; the ink color; and in a couple cases, significantly different papers. All have military postmarks and/or military mail handstamps. This is all correspondence within one family. I have not tried to translate any of the letters, but I can imagine they range from the mundane to a fascinating glimpse into German military life. Pre-printed cards such as these seem to be scarcer than generic envelopes. While German soldiers covers and cards are usually not scarce, they are often in poor quality (because of the paper usually used). This group is quite nice. This group of 11 represents all the different types of cards that were in the original correspondence; several are the only examples present of their type. This degree of variety adds value. If I were to make such a group again, it could probably only have seven different in it.
