U-BOAT ACE HELMUT ROSENBAUM U 73 - personal photo album. E Bay.

[Kiloh]

Looking for Luft Photos and came across this:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=330213660930

I'm not a photo collector, but I would imagine an album with this subject must be rare and am almost tempted to sell a few daggers to own this(but not quite) .

. odd format of the photographic papers
. contrasty and grainy images
. overdone discoloration
. writing style of the photo captions

...I feel something is wrong with this photo album though
I have seen the album and photo group of the U-73 crews several times.
I would like to hear other members opinions.

Hi Ian and Haruki,

Haruki is right !, for several years now such an U-73 album and loose photo groups are going around on ebay and the collectors market.
There is some one making those albums over and over again, using an old album with newly reproduced photos in it.
The only thing that sometimes change is the handwriting in it.
