Some of you may have seen it, for those who haven't, look at ebay. generalgalland is his nickname, he sells a lot of books of the Ace, among some other stuff. All with a certificate of Galland's son.

100% sure. It's on ebay.de, I was cruising around and ran into it. A lot of books about aviation, but also a model of Galland's ME.

I got two minor trophies: A book signed by Dolfo and another one with his ex-libris!

I'd liked to have the framed painting of his avatar but I am not in funds for that...

I cannot understand why his son is auctioning those things.

I've asked the seller. If he gives me more information than 'none of your business', I'll tell you!

Many thanks for the tip, Alex

I wondered if I would do the same, selling stuff of my (never ever famous) father or grandfather. Guess not. Heck, even a signed pic of Galland ends up sky high

.

Congratilations on your two books ballistarius! Great!

Thanks, Alex!
I'd have liked to get something with a more 'personal' mark, but there were few such items and all of them have gone higher than what I can afford.
Probably they've got less than they expected? Who knows...
In the end, you get something pretty anonymous with only a paper signed by Galland's son certifying that it belonged to his late father...

Hello again!
I got a short but convincent answer from the seller:
'Galland's family do this, because they have too many items from the estate'

Regards,

Aitor

Thanks! Well, they do make some money... Guess they keep all his medals too.
