LW directionnal wooden sign

Hello Guys

I present you my LW geheime feldpolizei wooden sign. Dimensions; 100x28cm

All your comments are welcome! Have a nice day

This is something you would see on a directional sign post as depicted in the period photo you attached. It would be difficult to say this is original because it appears the signs were largely field made. I don't know of any definitive study on the topic. It certainly looks to be a period made sign. Does it come with any provenance? Neil

Hello Neil

Many thanks for your answer. Yes it wears a lot of signs of age...Found in the north east of France . Warm regards . Philippe

My only observation is that the fonts on the piece look a bit thicker than the photo, the rounded instead of pointy tip and the period that is very close to the 'L' but not the 'P' as depicted the pic, again, just observations.. G

It certainly looks the part - but the garden shed I painted 15 years ago has started cracking like that.... so I would need some provenance to be 100% sure of it.

Hello. Agree with you but the picture in Paris is just to proove that this sign existed. They are field made and so it could have some differences.
