Germany Kriegsgefangenen-Lagergeld 1; 10 (3); 50 Reichspfennig; 1 (2); 2 (3); 5; 10 Reichsmark Schwan-Boling 191a; 192a; 193a; 194a; 195a; 196a; 197a. A general issue for use in prisoner of war camps. Consensus is that these notes had little value because the canteens were poorly stocked. Therefore, their primary use was for gambling behind the barbed wire and guard towers. This is a complete denomination set for the issued notes. The 20 Reichsmark is in Specimen form only. Very Good or better with almost all being "or better."
Estimate: 200-300 USD
