This also a tough note. The soiling is a shame.

Quote: Needs some restoration work to remove the rest of the tape and a split in one of the folds. Still a tough note regardless. -Really tough to get in any condition. IMO: would leave them "as is."

Those are some beauties Wheatback and Scotsgreyhound. The soiling on that 10/ isn't too bad - it simply tells the story of the individual note.

Thanks for posting IGE! I think I have some note similar to these and I was wondering where they were from and time period for them. Your post shortened my search.

Quote: Some more WWII-era notes picked up recently, military payment notes 1,2,5 & 10 Schilling, Austria (1944) Fantastic!

@jbuck, for a couple of pounds I can own a little bit of history, it's the great thing about paper money or coin collecting. I think about the hands a WWI or WWII era banknote have passed through, for me it's not always about the monetary value of a banknote. I've got really interested in wartime banknotes of late, Germany, Hungary, Eastern Europe. I mean, you can purchase a banknote from the time of the French Revolution for around £5-£10. Amazing hobby
