Original 1939 German Finance Office (Finanzamt) document detailing the quarterly tax return for Fussball-Club “Bayern” e.V., the official Bayern Munich football club. Issued by the Finanzamt Hof (Bavaria) and dated October 9, 1939, this document records a tax return of 471 Reichsmarks for the third quarter of the year, shortly after the outbreak of the Second World War.
Typed on official government stationery titled “Umsatzsteuer-Voranmeldung” (Sales Tax Pre-Declaration), it features the club’s wartime address on Adolf-Hitler-Strasse and official signatures and notations from the local tax authority.
This document offers a rare glimpse into the economic administration of sports organisations during the early war years. Even as the country transitioned into wartime footing, businesses and clubs such as Bayern Munich remained subject to regular fiscal oversight under the Reich's tax system. Documents like this are seldom preserved due to their bureaucratic nature, making it an exceptional example of Third Reich-era civilian financial documentation tied to a major sports institution.
Good condition for age. Fold crease across the center and two punch holes from filing. Light handling wear and mild toning consistent with age. All text remains crisp and legible.
ALL ITEMS ARE GUARANTEED ORIGINAL PERIOD PIECES.
Did a lot of comparing before buying and ended up here. Item turned up exactly as pictured, which honestly is all I ask for these days. Packaging was solid too. Would buy again.
You can tell this is someone who actually handles and studies the pieces. I respect that.
Not my first militaria purchase, but probably the first time I didn’t feel like I had to “decode” the listing. Straightforward, clear photos, realistic condition notes. That alone earns trust.
What I liked most was the way the history was presented. Factual and clearly written for collectors instead of glorifying anything. That matters to me.
Bought one piece initially just to test the waters. Ended up placing another order a week later. That should say enough.
Everything arrived on time and matched the listing. No drama, no excuses, no surprises. That’s increasingly uncommon with online militaria.
First time ordering from overseas and I was a bit hesitant. Communication was great, shipping was fast and the item arrived in the condition shown. Very good!
I collect mainly German pieces and I was pleasantly surprised by how accurate the description was. Nothing overstated, nothing hidden. Kind of rare now. Very happy with the purchase.
I don’t usually leave reviews, but this one felt deserved. Honest listing, fair price, no nonsense. The piece now sits proudly in my collection. Thanks Mr. Taylor
