For the rest i leave it on our dutch friends

search google with "emaille reclameborden", or look at these sites:

Finding pictures of shop fronts and lettering is a lot more difficult, do you have any specific city or shop in mind? E.g. Amsterdam or clothingshop.

Try googling "winkel", "winkels", "winkelstraat"or "winkelstraten"

Good luck!!

Uh,oh
Lets try this again:

keep on the good work and good luck further on with your searching

Hey Blockhaus,

you should consider writing a PM zu FAUST (Robert Blokker). He has a great set of dutch ready-to-print enamel-signs in 1/35 available.
He sent them once to me for my first dutch project and they turned out absolutly well.

Hola Carlos! This was modelled on a archive photo that had a M4A1(76) passing through the arch, correct? The end of the word that is the main writing on the building (above the two doors) ends in POORT" so if any Dutch compatriots could add the first half of the word?

Foxy is right... Faust is definately the one to contact about this !

This is the gate at valkenburg right?
Maybe someone can get hold of an original picture from the shop (and its advertisements) next to it.

Good luck
Mark

I am impressed for the I number of answers!!! armorama is a community that she never stops to surprise me for the vitality of its forums thanks to all for your collaboration :-)

Frank: really I would never shoot somebody that tries to help me, thank you for your interest in helping me: -)

Diederick, Mark yes, my I model this inspired one in the door of Valkenburg, the building exists today but it doesn't seem that it is a store
thanks to all for our collaboration

Paul thanks a lot!!!

these photo are really interesting for me , in general I not see before now too much photos about Holland in WW II and most of them are about Arnhem or the LA Hague bombing in 1940

thanks

Carlos

it could also be:

Bergerpoort

That was the name of the gate in the early days. but i don't know when they changed the name into "grendelpoort"
