Hi Patrick,

I had it specially made by Justin Zimmerman from South Africa.You may know that I have a serious interest in Feldmeyer material

Fantastic artworks by Justin... What does he charge for commissioning a new customised artwork?

Etienne can you give me some more information about the artist Justin Zimmerman?
There is a web site with his works? Thank. Harm

[Max Wünsche]

I believe Justin Zimmerman is a member on the WAF .... username - 'Juzzy'.

I think at one point he had a website (at least last year he did) although if you check the below thread, in the last post he gives his contact email for orders etc...

This one was pretty big too

Those giant billboard "posters" are impressive - a bit impractical to display for the average collector unfortunately...

Thank Max for the infoermation about Justin Zimmerman

Also this version

[Bullmann]

Not to be rash, but these posters aren't made by Gino Boccasile, Harm
but rather an artist with the same initials: Giulio Bertoletti.

[Harm Wulf]

Dear Bullmann sorry for my mistake.
In the book "Repubblica Sociale: i manifesti" of Ernesto Zucconi Edizioni Ritter Novantico 2002 pag. 118 and 119 is written that the two poster were made by Gino Boccasile. It is a mistake. GB is Giulio Bertoletti
I checked the catalog Furio Arrasich "Catalogo 2010 cartoline militari. Illustratori, RSI, milizia" Edizioni Millecatoline pag. 10 the two poster were made by Giulio Bertoletti with many other. I will advise Galleria Arte Thule of it.
Thank. Harm

PS Do you have more info or works of Giulio Bertoletti?

[Bullmann]

Hi, Harm!
No problem, of course.
No, I don't really know much about Bertoletti, other than that he was quite productive during the war and that he is probably most known for the "Medaglia d'Oro"-series. I have a couple of them myself (One honoring Italian forces on the eastern front and one honoring the Italian air force).
His style is quite brutal and pretty recognizable although the posters that you show has a somewhat smoother style than many of his other posters.
Here's a couple of links to some of his works:

New addition arrived today...

Love the work of Hans Schweitzer - Mjölnir.

Many thanks once again Etienne.








Just need a minty edition or two of "Das Schwarze Korps" to flank this beauty.
