Description

German Reisepass: Overview

A German passport issued in Mannheim on 22 December 1932 to Peter Stein, with his wife Marie Stein included. Unusually, it carries two original portrait photographs, one of each holder, both fixed to the identification page with official ink stamps.

Provenance

No further provenance is recorded.

Authenticity
