Provenance and Comments: Archival sources offer contradictory assessments regarding the fate of this table. At ERR office on Avenue d'Iena in the summer of 1942. An internal review by the ERR in Paris dated 15 April 1943 could not account for the location of this furniture. According to the Koblenz records, this table was transferred to a Mr. Schulte-Malbun together with Bal 77 and Bal 78. The reference to the Munich central collecting point (MCCP) and to its repatriation to France are crossed out on the Koblenz document. However, in the MCCP database, #22077 corresponds to BAL 76. The MCCP card indicates that it is "probably identical" to BAL 29. This table allegedly went to Kogl and was repatriated to France on 23 August 1946.
