Re: From Ordensburg Sonthofen - Enamel Sign
Nice item. I like it.
It illustrates well how a period sign should look.
Cheers, Ade.

Yes, the one caveat is, as with much military memorabilia is provenance. A German collector friend said, the sign style is clearly 30's - 40's - but to a third party, it could have easily been hanging outside any railway station toilets in Germany during the war. Although I'm sure.
One thing, I forgot to mention, the worker said, in the Ordensburg there's a room in which the TR medals and awards are set into the wall tiles - fascinating, just imagine coming down to the breakfast room and seeing them embedded in the wall tiles. Foolishly, I didn't ask him, if it was to be left as it is or would they be taken out. I've included a couple of pictures of the Ordensburg today and in its Nazi heyday as a elite Adolf Hilter Schule. Still a imposing building.
