jeffs1130 Posted September 7, 2016 Share #1 Posted September 7, 2016 So I picked up this wooden ink block stamper from the estate of an 8th Air Force Photo Lab Tech, who served during WWII. I am wondering if this is a “Fake” Official German Railway Stamper made by the allies to aid in the escape of downed airman? The stamp creates a travel pass entitling the bearing to travel on official government business via the railway! Being a photo lab tech, he had the equipment to make fake IDs and Documents! Would be very useful item! Or it could just be a legit German stamper! I have never seen one like this before! Anyone else? Comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BROBS Posted September 7, 2016 Share #2 Posted September 7, 2016 to me it looks like an original printing block. it would be useless without the individual unit stamp, so I believe this is the master document that would be printed "en masse" and used/stamped/filled in as needed. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarbridge Posted September 7, 2016 Share #3 Posted September 7, 2016 I will lock the thread.The Spoils of War section has the intent to feature the US participant more than the foreign item.A background story is needed...not a section to Identify Foreign relics.Members can pm responses...if it's proven to be US...I will reopen.
