John Fox III Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 That is certainly an interesting find! Definitely does not look like a first model, perhaps others exist by the same builder? Anchor's A Weigh! John Fox III Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James K Borowski Sr Posted July 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 What makes you say “definitely does not look like a first model”? 12-11-44 was 12 days before the greatest escape of US held POWS in history. 25 Kreigsmarine sailors escaped Papago camp 12-23-44. The bottle is a Duraglas from that time period. Would you know what the H.D. might mean, initial’s perhaps? thanks jkborowski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James K Borowski Sr Posted July 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 Not a huge population at Papago at that time. Im looking for a list of names that might match. Why the definitely not a first build? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im looking for a list of names that might match. Why the definitely not a first build? Greetings, I said that based on my own experience and a host of other models I've sen. I suppose it is possible it was someone's first ship in model build, but it seems to be more advanced in technique and execution in my mind. Perhaps I should not have used the "definitely", just looks a bit more advanced to me. Anchor's A Weigh!

James K Borowski Sr Posted July 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 Thanks, They were Kreigsmarine, more knowledgeable and familiar with ships than most. How can i find out if it’s authentic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
