V.S

Can i get a better pic of your Paris Pass, i dont mean to be a biter but i was trying to repop one and cant find a good enough pic to work from.

[Hoffman Grink]

I have the scan mate and when I get on my desktop I'll post it

[petty officer]

Haven't got one as of yet but will definitely get one as it is a crucial part of any impression.

Which are the best repros at the moment?

Cheers

I think Underwood has some. SoF have some.... Posibly A.Hole but not sure...... You can use the pics I posted as a guide to get started - But a tip is to write yourself a plausible profile beforehand, arrive at a persona and use that to fill details into the soldbuch.

And make sure your handwriting looks good before you get to inking it in.

I fill mine out in pencil and Sutterlin script as i find it easier to copy than proper old looking handwriting.

I'm on number 4 now - Antony's are ok at the moment, but they seem to be pretty much the same standard who ever you buy from.

How do you address a letter to him then?

I knew SoF had them.

Richard is at our house this weekend and I'm due to go to Leeds with him.... but I've had a small mishap which may hamper me

But I'll try to be there. Along with Richard and possibly a glamorous assistant.

They all seem to come from the same source - they all either have the same spelling spelling mistakes or the same tippex marks where the original entry has been erased.

I've done a fair few of these, and as everyone has already said work out the owner's history first (get your glasses prescription details if you wear them, and your dental details etc.). I also have a photocopy of each page so I can fill it in before I start to ensure all the right details go in the right boxes! You also don't have to use sütterlin as not all the books used this style of writing, particularly those completed later in the war.

All you need then are about 2 dozen stamps, and away you go...!

When you sign your soldbuch under your picture and where you sign your name what form of writting do you use? And could someone post a cpl examples of the different forms?

[Feldjager]

I just use a signature style.

I'll try and post a couple of pictures, but the scanner is kaput at the moment.

[pzrwest]

Would this be an acceptable style for the period to sign my soldbuch?

[Feldjager]

Looks fine to me!
