Anyone else having trouble ordering a certificate from Stiftung? The website says it's currently not available.

Agree with Zen, they also came with 8x10 glossy photographs, plus more info of yr of production, all free...now what do they charge and take how long to get..

Why should they be free? It takes work to pull the data and create the certificate. From what I understand the records are all on microfiche so it's not like they just type in your info into a computer and hit print.

I have never seen that. |

| In my case, in 1979, they came with about a dozen generic photos of Beetles/Bugs from different years, often seen in previous VW advertising & promotional literature, plus a 70 page booklet, titled ' A Brief Illustrated History', all of which I still have to this day. It was a time when VW valued those who were interested in the marque, it's history, and those keeping the old vehicles alive. Sadly, largely no longer the case, other than occasional, distant PR. |

That is very interesting confirmation Martin, and makes sense; though however sad that is no longer the situation. 
aa390392, is that what you were referring to as well?

Yes it contained about 4 generic B&W pics + info on my 1953 standard, the year was 1974/74., inclusive to me knowing Franz Hermann from Azusa who worked for VW he got me all NOS parts.from What I recall they were affordable for the time.

WOW, those were the days.
Very good that your 'connection' at VW helped you to acquire the requisite parts (standard = holy grail of Vintage VW pats) 
-And at a decent price for then.  (Now even more-so).
Thanks for sharing. TheSamba remains THE SOURCE for us old dubbers...

Still, I need that info. Numbers matching to us means little but it can add significantly to the value for collectors.

Below is the email address of the person I have contacted several times at the museum in the past few weeks.
They have been great to deal with and you can Email all necessary info to them. My process took less than 2 weeks  . even though there website said there was a delay. If you email them they will give you an estimate on time.
