3./Pz-Abw.-Abtlg. 16 photo album

[talon17th]

Hey guys, I've come across this killer 3. Pz album for sale. It's in beautiful condition with many photos. There is still the vellum divider paper between each page. There are approximately 20-30 pages of 5-6 photos each. I can identify one soldier over and over again through album. Can anyone provide info on this particular Abtlg. 16 and going prices on items like this. I've been researching since I've seen it today. But as always I defer to the experts here on WAF. Here are a few photos I took with my phone. Looking on line I see these can run anywhere from couple hundred dollars to $800+. Please any help would be appreciated. Thanks

These are just a sample. There are many more nice combat pic as well. This album is being offered in the $400-$500 range. I may have some wiggle room.

Hello,

Well The unit marked photo albums are alwyas nice looking but value breaks down to content. Are there any panzer, armored recon photos? IF so that would increase the value. It looks like there may be a few photos that were not taken privately such as the flower covered vehicles. They may be from the annexation of austria. It looks, mainly from the photos you have shown to be prewar 37-39 time frame. One or two may be from the eastern or even polish campaigns, hard to tell.
Does the album still have all the printed pages of the leaders of the TR in place?
As to value from what I am seeing $150-$200 dollar range.

Yes Mike the album does has all the TR leaders in the front. Yes I suppose it has more pre war photos than during the war. The unit marked cover really got me excited. But you r right about the non personally taken photos as there r a few though out. There is also some Stalingrad np clippings and notes on the last few pgs. Not sure what that's about. Thanks for ur input. I may see if I can get a better deal on it.
