"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Great thread. Not a perspex box or stainless steel suspension wire in sight.
Haven't read that I've been dethroned as yet! So far my vote is Dan's so far... Great rooms to all that have shared and a big Thank You.
Yes it is and those signs evoke heady memories for me personally in the city of spies and intrigue then known simply as the "Grosstadt"
This one is from the "Wall" (between the Brit and Soviet sectors) the signs on the "Wire" (between the Brit Sector and DDR) had a different German legend; The first here is from the "wall" the other is from the "wire"
In the latter period of use the signs had a sequential number in the bottom left corner so they could be used as reference points. On the wall they were number 1 (in the North adjacent to the French Sector) to 100 (in the South adjacent to the US Sector). On the "wire" there were more signs as the border was longer but without looking in my boxes of old docs I can't recall how many at the moment I'll have a look and maybe start a bit of a thread in the appropriate section. BTW I have one of these signs on my war room door too! I must take a pic but at the moment think I might take the trophy for best dump "hands down"
Regards
Mark
