you have another D-Day Normandy Two Franc Invasion Script Note dated 1944. Paratroopers and GIs carried the Invasion Script. It has a serial number and the writing is in French. The reverse features the French Flag. The note was kept as a souvenir and is in about near mint condition. Incredibly it was folded only once and apparently shipped home as a souvenir. The script is very finely detailed and the colors are vibrant. It came from the estate of a GI CID agent who served with the Third Division in Italy and Germany. I have included a photo from page 254 of GI, Government Issue, A Collector's Guide to the European Theatre. Paper items such as Military Currency and Occupation Script are tough to find, as these small paper items had to survive sixty-three years. It is a must have to complete your European Theatre WWII collection. First Class Postage in a padded bag with delivery tracking slip would be fine in lieu of my standard US Postal Service Priority Mail. This WWII D-Day Normandy 2 Franc Note for the Liberation of France would make a wonderful addition, upgrade and/or completion to a WWII GI or Paratrooper European Theatre collection. The note would be perfect to add to your re-enactor's outfit, and would look terrific in your display, museums, and for educational and theatrical presentations. I am listing a number of caps, uniform items, field gear, insignia, ribbons, home front pieces, etc, this week. Please do a seller-search using my username martinolij to check it out. Thank you. Please read this section carefully for adhering to the terms of the listing as the winning bidder is entering into a legal contract. Payment in US Dollars is due within 11 days of the listing's conclusion. I accept Pay Pal. Checks are fine but I generally clear them. Money Orders and Bank Checks ship ASAP. Items paid through Pay Pal will ship when the funds clear and are transferred to my bank account. Buyer in the States pays US Postal Service Priority Mail shipping with delivery confirmation/tracking slip. I will combine postage for multiple purchases. W First Class Postage is offered, I insist on a padded bag so a delivery tracking slip can be used. The cost of First Class includes the padded pad. Tracking is mandatory for all Pay Pal domestic transactions. For Pay Pal purchases of $250 and larger, a signature return receipt/tracking and insurance are mandatory. If outside the States this will change. I ship world wide for all countries recognized by Pay Pal. Shipping options will be provided. Insurance and tracking on large size or large dollar items ($250 or over) are mandatory. Smaller items can be shipped easily, safely and affordably in a Global Priority Flat One Rate Envelope or First Class Mail International (the cost of the First Class includes a padded bag). Surface mail is not an option. International Bidders must pay in US Dollars. Pay Pal is the accepted method of payment. I save all Postal Service Receipts as well as copies of your payment as proof of delivery and completion of the transaction. The mail is not infallible and that is why insurance is available to you (your choice/option) for domestic and international transactions. It is your responsibility to understand and ad to these terms. I have enjoyed interacting with buyers from four continents and dozens of countries. Many have been veterans, active duty GIs, home front family members in our war, authors, artists, teachers, museum curators, etc. You are encouraged to email with questions.
