1,000 Police Unit Marks and Counting

Don M · 02-22-2006, 05:55 PM

I thought I would share with forum members that I have exceeded 1,000 records in my database of Imperial and Weimar police unit marks! I am currently researching the unit marks of the Schupo outside of Berlin. There are over 200 such marks in the database and this will be my most ambitious research project to date. I expect to publish the results in a series of articles over the next year or so. I will post these articles on my FTP site for download about two months after they are published in Auto Mag.

Don,

Congratulations! I remember when you first started building your base. This speaks to your dedication, to a highly contributive aspect of our affliction. Thanks for all of your hard work. A feat that not many could accomplish. I will be looking forward to your upcoming articles.

Great job Bud,

Ron
