Does anyone have information regarding a source for a clear, well defined photo...not computer generated (my printer doesn't generate clear photo images...they look grainy and like looking through the bottom of a beer glass). I am looking for a clear TYPE VII photo to have double matted and framed. Thanks. DEX

Dex, not exactly what you're looking for "BUT" these are worth 10x more than the purchase price having seen them in "real life"... There is a type VIIc listed.  Check it out and ask for larger photos of same to see the details involved...

Bear, The lower representation is the U-355 skippered by Eric Topp. It is a Type VII...The dead giveaway is the leaping Devil on the fairwater. Please e-mail me your postal address. My address; sen41@hotmail.com...DEX

no problem on it's way later today  I thought the one your talking about was of a Type VII but was not positive and I had not had a chance to ask Mateus These all came from the flickr sites I referred to the other day and Mateus is from Europe I believe hence the other language on three or four of these. I think everyone that has not visited these sites would be amazed at the pictures and images there the pictures and images of the Chinese and Russian Submarines are unbelievable. After I have figure out the rules a bit better and if you all would like I will figure out how to use the Discussion portion to stash TINS as well   An as far as the pictures are concern I will have my laser printer fixed in a couple weeks (needs three color cartridges at ~$150 each) and I will print any picture you like. Also trying to get ahold of a friend my son worked with that has huge roll printer (which I hope to have some day as well) which can make wall size poster pictures.

The diamonds? No problema!
Amsterdam virgin? I just don't know that ANY one can do such a thing without resorting to pedophilia, and there are some things even Gentry's crowd just won't touch!
