WW2 WWII Graf Spee Bandmaster Kurt Kunz Argentine Identity Document - ORIGINAL For Sale

Up for sale is a historically significant, 100% original WWII German identity document (Cédula de Identidad) issued by the Province of Córdoba, Argentina, to an interned crew member of the famous pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee.HISTORICAL PROVENANCE:
This unique booklet belonged to the ship\'s official Bandmaster (Musikmeister), Kurt Kunz. Following the dramatic scuttling of the Graf Spee in December 1939 in the Río de la Plata, the crew was interned by Argentine authorities and moved to secure inland locations in Córdoba. To navigate his legal status and protect his true registry from Allied tracking, Kunz registered under the protective alias \"Huberto W. S. Kunz,\" matching his exact historical birth date and parentage.DOCUMENT DETAILS & CONDITION:

• Left Page: Features the official 5-Peso \"Ley de Sellos\" Córdoba provincial fiscal revenue stamp (Serial No. 116026, Serie A), the vertical handwritten signature of Kunz, and his crisp, original right thumbprint (Pulgar Derecho).
• Right Page: Features Kunz\'s original passport-style photograph in formal civilian attire, officially stamped and dated June 5, 1942.
• Center Page: Details his official personal metrics, including his exact historical birth date (October 25, 1904), birthplace (Schlesen), nationality (German/Alemán), and profession listed as \"Militar\" (Military). Verified validation stamp is dated February 3, 1943.
• Security Markings: Features the rare and highly desirable red slanted security stamp stating that the booklet is strictly for identity tracking and does not constitute a certificate of good conduct—a restriction applied specifically to monitor interned foreign military personnel.

The booklet is entirely intact, complete, and shows minor age-appropriate wear. An incredible, museum-grade storypiece for collectors of naval history, the Battle of the River Plate, or WWII internment ephemera.
