In December 2012 I wrote an article about German documents. And in that article I wrote that I was in no hurry of making a Soldbuch, because there are many other vendors out there who makes them. In the past few months I have been asked several times if I could make one, because a lot of those repro Soldbücher are of poor quality so to say. As you know by now I rather work from originals instead of copies or scans. And after searching I managed to find an original Soldbuch. This came with some other small books, all from the same person. The lot contained a ‘Lehrbrief’ (Qualification papers), a ‘Schießbuch’ (Shooting Score book), a ‘Mitglieds-Paß’ (Memberships pass), ‘Grundschein’ (basic certificate First Aid) and the Soldbuch.
Now I finally can start making a Soldbuch. The biggest problem will be finding the right cardboard for the cover.
It’s a pity though that a couple of pages are glued together. But nevertheless with this Soldbuch and all the information I have, I can make a good repro.
Would be nice of making the ‘Schießbuch’ and ‘Mitglieds-Paß’ too. Both have a linnen cover.
GREAT FINDS!!! Hope you CAN accomplish your quest. Would be beneficial to all of us out there.
Is this item print a ink or laser printer? just think that if getting wet do printing stained?
My reproductions will not stain when they get wet, like i.e. reproductions made by other vendors with an inkjet printer. I don’t print with an inkjet printer.
