€1,000.00
Approximately 130 items in all, both covers and cards, most sent postage-free but a few franked; correspondence from POW camps of Germany, Italy, the US, Switzerland and Britain, with material including a “Detained Civilian” cover, German Feldpost, a Czech Censor, items to/from Egypt, British “Active Service” cards, all with various Censor/”Opened” markings and tapes; in addition to the covers (and not included in our count) are ephemeral items almost never encountered: a German “Grüße der Heimat/Grüße der Front” lettersheet noted on reverse “Hervé” (! what would Tintin say?), a receipt for war property…and several beer coupons (!), even a POW’s Berthing Card; fascinating material in generally clean condition, Fine to Very Fine with better, some scarce items worth seeing.
