GERMAN WWII GESTAPO IDENTITY DISCS.

This unbelievable original example of one of the most iconic and copied items of WWII being the Geheime Staatspolizei identity disc, number 675, Copies of both the Gestapo and the Criminal Police discs have been produced possibly since the middle 1950’s and hold an unbelievable fascination with collectors world-wide. Some examples of the Krimampolizei discs we have had in the past but this is our first ever Gestapo disc. The standard work to authenticate one of these discs is the superb effort by Don Bible, a Schiffer Military History book publication, first published in 2001, we ourselves were contributors to that book. Don lists all of the known Gestapo discs in existence at that time, which numbered 65 only, we must assume that others have been discovered from either collections or ground dug since, Don Bible believes that less than 20,000 Gestapo discs were struck, up to the publication of his work the highest number he had located was 16,413.
