Title: Google works for my lack of German, but who can read Heinrichsen boxes?
Post by: jimrjim on February 10, 2017, 10:46:48 AM

Good day friends, I have numerous Heinrichsen wooden boxes where I find myself entirely at a loss. Must I take a course in palaeography or is there somebody who might be willing to wade in and help me sort out the (to me) illegible script on numerous boxes?
Thank you in advance.

No problem :


Württemberg Infantry


and


"Aus den Befreiungskriegen" i.e. "From the Wars of Liberation"


Prussian Artillery 1813


Best regards


Alexander

Thank you Alexander. I have at least 20 others that are a challenge. There are dozens I can decipher       slowly.

@jimrjim,
if you look at the second line (below the line you can't decipher)
you will find -at least-a French title.
