Ships kriegsmarine plaques-help

[Maurice]

I have seen being offered on a German forum six of these for € 200, some years ago. However, for somebody in Lisbon or busy with the history of that city, it would be of much more value. If I would be selling them, I would try to find a local person or institute (museum) interested.

I was aware these were given to crewmembers who switched to another duty, that one could buy them at shops in harbours (still), but it's new to me that they were given also on the trips abroad. Makes perfect sence off course. There must be many examples then to be found wordwide! For example, Schlesien and Schleswig Holstein served as a Kadettenschulschiff and made some journyes across the world before the war started.

Kind regards,

Maurice
