Lot 817
Auschwitz Pramienschein 1RM. Note printed on heavy red stock. Round camp overstamp reads "Waffen SS Komandantur K.L. Auschwitz" and there is a faint Reich eagle in the center. "Pramienschein über RM. 1- / Konzentrationslager Auschwitz" printed at top, printer's number at bottom reads "KL/101 - 8. 44/500.000." Rare issue in very good to fine condition.
Auschwitz was one of the few camps that issued its own script. The "8.44" in the printer's mark would seem to indicate an August 1944 print date, five months before Auschwitz was liberated.
Estimated Value $250 - 450.
