I'm working on a couple of projects and I need help locating some signs please. First off, I'm doing an Iraqi diorama & I need some Saddam propaganda posters as well as some regular "retail" store advertising signs. You know, like "Hakmed's Grocery Store", only in Arabic. I also need some contemporary product advertising signs. Regional soft drinks and the like.
Switching gears, I need reference to WWII era signs for Germany & Europe. Not just the propaganda stuff (which is already available) but business signs and product advertising signs. What I'm looking for is business signs in French & German. I don't speak or write either language so if I want a sign that says "Klaus's Tavern" in German I don't know how to write it properly. I think you know what I mean.
Thanks. If anyone could direct me to any reference sites or vendors that carry such products I'd appreciate it. My first 1/35 diorama parts (buildings) will be hitting eBay next week & I need to wrap them for the photos. Cheers.

I've got some French signs that should fit the bill. Just PM your e-mail and I'll send you a scan...
