WWII German Stamp Sheets for the Soldbuch
Since 2011, we have offered sets of rubber stamps for working on the Soldbuch, as well as other Nazi-era German military and civilian documents, for props and displays. Making these documents look realistic requires a lot of different stamps, which would be expensive to buy individually. We can supply the needed stamps in the form of sheets of unmounted stamps, each one painstakingly copied from original documents in my collection. There are no fantasy stamps here, these are all direct reproductions of original stamps from 1939-1945. We take great pride in making exact, perfect copies of original stamps, in the correct original size. There are Soldbuch stamps here that can be used for every branch of the Wehrmacht, as well as for the Waffen-SS. With these stamps you can create a very realistic-looking Soldbuch that looks like it has been carried for years and stamped many times. Each sheet measures 5.5 inches by 8 inches and is made from top quality, European made, real rubber material, laser etched with precise detail here in the USA. Every stamp set comes with a sheet of double-sided adhesive foam cushion material for you to mount these stamps to your handles, a guide for cutting up the sheet, and a guide with information identifying each stamp and how it was used.
We don’t have any handles to sell. You can buy rubber stamp handles from other suppliers, buy old stamps and re-use the handles, make your own handles, or simply use wooden blocks. More information on stamp handles can be found here. If you need stamps with handles, we are happy to offer those individually.
The price for each sheet is $49 plus shipping. These sheets are usually in stock and ready to ship. To order, please e-mail us at intrenches1945@gmail.com.
Shipping rates: The cost to ship one sheet is $5 in the USA, $11 to Canada, $20 to Europe. The cost to ship multiple sheets is $6 in the USA, $18 to Canada, $28 to Europe. Orders will ship in padded envelopes.
