Boxed Meissen Legion Condor for Bomber Unit K/88 # 3476
A beautiful and a rare example of a boxed Meissen plate of the period for bomber unit k/88 of the Legion Condor. Boxed examples of these plates are rare enough that I have seen maybe 2-3 over 25 years and easily as rare or more rare than Allach plate boxes. Plate measures approx. 10 inches and retains the original factory hanger to the rear with proper stamps and marking for the firm of Meissen. The K/88 Was comprised of JU52 and H111 Bombers during the Spanish campaign. Plate has a strong deco appearance bearing the unit designation and the Luftwaffe Adler with swastika. Unit history is published and some is below and borrowed from Axis History. Rare variant as the plates go, and boxed to boot.
