Cool!

Gordon,

Those adverts are great!

Just curious...do you have any period price lists for private purchase items?

Anyone else have any period advertisments? Please share a few scans.

Calvin,

Yes, if it was available for sale, I have its price, plus the price of the relevant case/packet etc. The list is to big to scan but name a few awards and I'll give you the retail price of the "private purchase" version.

Hello Gordon,

I was curious about the prices of the Iron Cross series...EK1, EK2, Spange First Class, Second Class, etc.

This may be a stupid question...were DKs and RKs avail. for private purchase?

Is there a way to correlate war time prices to today's currency?

Thanks,

Calvin

Retail sale of DKs was never permitted. Retail sale of RK went on until mid 1941 after which it was forbidden. Steinhauer & Luck price for an RK was RM34.50 with Oakleaves at RM13.50.

S&L 1940 (pre LDO) price for an EK1 was RM7, so the price controls brought in by the LDO resuted in quite a lowering of prices.

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing the advertisements. I noticed that Souval is the only one to give their L number. Do you suppose thats because they were located outside greater Germany?
