This is truly an amazing and quite rare piece of history. An authentic border crossing sign between German and British territory, it is numbered as to its original border location and I was provided with a list showing corresponding names and numbers of these crossings. I let Haller know I was looking for one after seeing one on a visit to Namibia and they found me one! There are not many out there. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. Thanks Ludwig!
