While I don't have any photos to post

I have a liquor bottle from Ost Monopole made in Riga Latvia (empty ). The label is in German and Latvian.

an unopened box of Estonian AHTO cigarettes with a price in Estonian currency and Reichsmark

an Estonian Reserve Officer's badge

but my favorite is a group of photos of an SS officer who in one studio portrait (taken in Mannheim) is wearing the Estonian Reserve Officer's badge, there are some wartime and postwar photos of he and his family and a Tallinn studio portrait of another relative. Purty neat. Don't see much stuff like this in Florida.

Latvian volunteers

To pursue this message concerning Latvian volunteers, a new message accompanied with images was placed in the Wehrpass, Soldbuch and Military IDs Forum.

Magnificent document Alex. If you wish, one day, you separate from a Soldbuch, do not hesitate to contact me.

Cordial greetings.

Hello Gentlemen,

Thank you for your comments. I will try to make the scans of other
my soldbuchs and docs asap. The picture in soldbuch is not original. It was added by local dealer which was interested to rise the value of the book. . I took the picture off.

Special thanks to Denis for help in posting of the pictures.

Steve, can post pictures of ss officer. I like these pics of ss vulunteers ?

BRGS,
Alex
