Kenny Andrew Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Hi Dave, nice collection, I like the one with Gibraltar cuff title , these were the Germans who helped the British defend Gibraltar.I bet Hitler regretted that in 1941 What does CDV stand for again ?

david f Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 The thing about these cards is that they are not only good for collectors like me who like them as photo's but also for Imperial collectors in all fields. They have great uniform shots as well as equiptment and headwear. Some of the cards i have also have the owner wearing medals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
