German Luftwaffe
Desktop Ink Blotter: A quite unusal Luftwaffe marked
ink blotter. This item was sourced from Denmark near Aalborg
airport. This airport of course was captured by the 1st Battalion,
1st Parachute Regiment, under the command of Major Erich Walther,
the day before Denmark surrended in WW2. The eagle is the
old pattern 'drop tail' type and appears to be made out of
bronze.
The blotter body is made out of wood and one
side of the veneer is missing due to woodworm, there are a
few other woodworm holes throught but these all seem to be
old. The pad face still has original blotting paper and the
marks of what appears to be various stamps and markings
Sold. |
