Concentration Camp Buchenwald, 2 Reichsmark, SS-Standort-Kantine, Aussenkommando, serial number 20771, black print on red background, off-white paper, violet stamp "HUGO SCHNEIDER AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT Werk Schleiber" diagonally, reverse blank,, (Campbell 3949, Feller GE-147, Schwann-Boling 1002 - all for type), Provenance: I. Gradon, 2006. Hugo Schneider AG, or HASAG, was founded in 1863 and became an arms-manufacturing conglomerate during World War II. While it is well-known that HASAG used camp/slave labour in their factories, this stamp is hitherto unrecorded. Paper quality is good and the note rates a decent VF but has a vertical tear in the central fold going 1/3 down. A possibly unique scrip.

Estimate: £400 - £500
