    Well faked documents.

    Thanks to member Peter J. from Sweden I was able to check these documents by physical examination.

    I have had a look at them, and as far as I can see is that they are faked on old paper, but that the paper is different from the original examples I have here myself.
    A bit thinner, less quality (even knowing that the paper quality did change in those war years).
    And the printing / font (what is done in black ink), looks a bit too shiny.

    These documents will fool even the more advanced collectors, they look old, they feel old, they smell old, and they did pass the UV-light test.

    These documents are from the 80ties.

    The Uboot award document does have a misprint in the lower Iron Cross on the left arm.

    Peter J. thank you again.

              In most cases it's the content that gives them away. We've seen filled in fake examples of the big Z Wehrkreis X WB doc before here
