    Need help "decoding" Kardex

    Could use some help with some of the notations….

    Under the equipment section is the word "Handler": "Rossel, Wiesbaden"
    (I'm guessing this is the dealer, or exporter?)

    Below this is a section titled "Wagenbesitzer" (I think(slightly cut off)) "1, 2, 3"
    Entry number 1. is: XXXXXXX, Wiesbaden, WilhelmstrXXX

    Is this the first owner??

    Thanks, and you can PM me if more appropriate.

    Thank you both. Helpful indeed.

    If anyone in Wiesbaden would care to do a small bit of detective work, please PM me. Appreciate it.

    The service booklet with my car shows it was delivered at Auto Rossel in Wiesbaden. They're still there: www.auto-rossel.com.

    It was originally delivered to a "Mr. Charles Blandsford" with an address of "Wiesbaden, Wilhelmstraße 60" which might correspond to the Hotel Nassauer Hof which is there now.

    The name "Mr. Charles Blandsford" makes me think Alfred Hitchcock may have arranged the delivery.

    My address of delivery is WilhemstraBe 58, so, maybe it is (was) a hotel…..
