Some of the better or interesting material we note includes a variety of French, German, Belgian, occupation issues, an 1868 silver 5fr Napoléon coin, an 1871 Prussia "Victory" silver Thaler coin, some interesting military covers (with postmark, rate and addressee interest), an August 1870 letter from a soldier with interesting contents, original engravings of some of the important people related to the subject, numerous contemporary picture postcards, a Prussian helmet brass plate, two German war medals plus a selection of different ribbons, many Occupation issue stamps chosen for nice town cancels and on cover, two French war medals, and more. We counted a total of 44 period-mailed covers and dozens of stamps. The exhibit, in its present state includes only 68 of its original 80 pages, and is also missing some items that were used in the owner's other exhibits. Still, there is enough valuable material present to make it worth more than our conservative estimate. The lot also contains much ephemera material, including a thick binder ad two thick file folders full of articles, notes, research, more illustrations and some items that didn't make it into the exhibit. Also a book "Almanach de La Guerre pour 1871", "The Franco-Prussian War" by Michael Howard.
