Hi folks,
I usually dont mess around with odd items but I got a call today and I need some help.
I ran an ad a few months ago and this fellow called me up finally. Per his story he has 2 Kreigsmarine Lanterns (Candle) type that came off the Prinz Eugen.
His father was the head of Ordinance in Philly where the PE was after the war. He made friends with the Gunnery officer USN and when the left the Officer gave the father 2 lanterns.
Though I have not seen them yet he says the only markings on it are the KM eagle. Which of course means it could have come from any ship??
Anyway, does anyone have a picture of a KM lantern that would be like I said above. He does want to sell them but I think he is WAY too high since there is NO way to link it to the Prinz...E.
Thanks for any help. Im going to see and possibly buy the pair but he will have to be very reasonable. Either way Ill take pictures of them and post them.
Thanks for any pics that Ill need on my quest.
