Thread: Anyone good at deciphering German Handwriting on my Kardex?

  1. #1

    Anyone good at deciphering German Handwriting on my Kardex?

    I got the Kardex for my 1969 911E which confirmed that it came with all of the Sports Purposes options that are on it.

    Obviously, that begs the question - Why did he order it that way?

    Was he planning to go racing and did he?

    I can make out the first part of his name as "Edgar", but can't make sense of his last name.

    Can anyone else decipher it for me?

    And here is where he lived. An example of why kardexes have privacy issues:

    Yes, that is certainly a potential concern. I found out there is Knick/Knack Shop at the address on the Kardex now. They've never heard of him.

    Hi, I would try a different approach.
    I'd try to get in contact with the HMSC http://www.hmsc-wd.de/index.php/der-club/der-club- if he was an active driver back in the days (even hobbyist) the old folks of the club must know him.
    Problem will be getting in contact with the right people there.
    I'll ask a friend, but he's way too young to know him, but perhaps his father does.
    Cheers
    Uli

    Auto Rossel in Wiesbaden still exists. Did you try if they have records on your car or the name?
