Re: Thoughts on Kripo disc
Looks like a good period disc - some pitting probably to being in the ground.

Re: Thoughts on Kripo disc
Tiger88: I saw one of those in the police museum in Berlin in 1971, and it looked exactly like yours in every respect, except that it was in mint condition. I would say that you have a genuine example there that has been living in a hostile environment for some time. Good catch. Dwight

Re: Thoughts on Kripo disc
I just had a quick look at one of the nice images on Don Bible's website on warrant discs and it sure looks the same to me; even the slight misalignment of the 'L' and 'P' in 'KRIMINALPOLIZEI' is the same.
Ohhhhh- pillage then burn...

These are a treasured item for the collector.
Any members here own one they can show?

I looked at that site too Matt, yet I thought the 9 looked slightly different.
Dwight, this one isn't actually mine, although I believe that it was sold recently.

The sight of these little discs caused many hearts to skip a beat after the late-night knock on the door...If these items could only talk!

Re: Thoughts on Kripo disc
Actually, the Kripo weren't the people who, in the metaphorical sense, "knocked in the night;" that was the Gestapo. The Kripo stands for Kriminalpolizei, and they were, and still are, police detectives who investigate crimes. Dwight

Re: Thoughts on Kripo disc
Well, considering that Himmler was Chef der Deutschen Polizei I'm sure these Kripo discs didn't create a good feeling among Kriminelle Elemente...which included jews at the time....
