                A unique piece has been recently put to auction! Thoughts on this?

                Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords awarded to Generalfeldmarschall Robert Ritter von Greim (1892-1945)

                http://www.invaluable.com/auction-lo...ive&utm_term=2

                Provenance: The family of Colonel Max van Rossum Daum, the American primary interrogator of von Greim and Hermann Goering; acquired directly from the family and comes with a copy of a letter from Tobias van Rossum Daum, Major, USAF.
                (Thanks to WAF member subaltern for sending me the pictures link)

                  Well .........

                  Captured by the yanks and questioned on 8th May killed himself later that same month, would have been liberated of his medals.The cross 's swaz has the same discolouration as per late wartime photo, I say a very good chance .It is a shame I am not rich !!!

                        Hi Denis,

                        Sorry, I'm late on the scene...I'll bite, what do you find strange? The signature does looked "forced" to me, tighter than the usual Burgdorf.

                        Best,

                          If I compare the the f in Burgdorf signature with other Burgdorf signatures it is totally different in Bruhns VB. If you follow the "pencil" from r to f you will see that in Bruhns document the pencil line goes down and in other Burgdorf signatures the pencil line between r and f will go up. The f also have a different ending on Bruhns VB. So a totally different f. I can also not find another VB from December 43 or January 44 with Generalleutnant preprinted. Maybe Denis have other things to add.
