My Signal magazine collection

Hello , I wanted to share the signal magazine issues I have. They are French language issues version startting in 1941.

This is a batch i picke dup last Saturday at a flea market:






Number ONE

 

N1 BIS



Number 2

 

The girls that are skipping rope are cute. Just how rare are copies of Signal?

 

I could put them online if ther eis interest, but keep in mind this is the French version . I could also stick to the pictures only but these are available about everywhere. It's just that many
people don't realise Signal was the initial source of so many picture that are often referred to with other sources.

Here's another cover for you

 

yes used in many of the older periodicals but rare enough indeed, propaganda at it's fines for the folks back home like the separate branch of services magazines like Die Wehrmacht and Die Kriegsmarine which I have several copies. Indeed rare and very useful.

good one Skip

 

Nice indeed!

 

Picked up last Saturday , the whole collection for the price of about two beers.

 

what a find Skip, wish I had more time to explore in you're region .............

 

Great collection, Skipper! Congrats.

 

Thanks lads, here's another one, I am currently uploading more.

 

Why not , but not before a couple of months, I am currently translating a booklet for a commemoration for a USAAF airman and it's needed early May, so that my current priority, but when I have time I don't mind sharing them . I have 11 issues in French and one in Dutch. The Dutch one is easy to recognize because the title is "SIGNAAL" with 2 "a"s

 

Good find Skipper. Flea markets are fun .... Love the old stuff. I've a bunch of old Mechanix Illustrated from around the same time. Like how they phrased their sentences, the ads, the letters, the technology. Gives some insight into the microcosm of our forefathers. Nice.

 

Thanks Poppy. I'm actually a bit surprised by the fact some of you say these are rare. I see them from time to time at markets and even in people's cellars. not many even bother to pick them up . I will start looking more activelly for issues I don't have have yet. I also see der Adler issues from time to time and French wartime magazines too.

 

I'll gladly help you , it's more a matter of time than of principle. I also have a collection of Ausweisses , they are all different types. In May I should have a couple of spare days . digitize the magazines will be kind of hard with my scanner though, the mags are A3 size. I may actually just take pictures (like I did with the cover pages)
