Why does it matter where it's from? It's either original or it isn't. I would be curious to learn what you don't like about it.

Hello

At first glance, the overall pic seems good

The signature is consistent with von Brauchitsch's one

The stamp is the main point to highlight: this is not the one usually encountered.
However, I have already seen it only one time on another VB signed at mid May 1941.

For me, the document is fine and the rare rubber stamp makes it quite interesting.

As stated, i am by no means an expert on those documents, it just seems quite different from the ones i have seen. one difference would be the cross on the top of the document, the ones i saw was designed different, also the stamp confused me, but i see Denis had a answer to that...

With regards to where it is from, i was just interested in seeing other photos if any was available, to learn more

Hi Denis,

Spot on!

I've got one in my files from 18 Mai 1941, however the other style is certainly more commonly encountered.

Thanks for explaining.

The base document (paper) is less an issue, as these can be easily copied and there were slight variations. More important is the signature, stamp, and overall format. These are all 100% correct with this document.

I understand the question re: the source, however, it has no bearing on the originality of the document. Some of the worst dealers on the planet have original material. Some of the best, most-respected dealers have the occasional fake which slips by. The only thing that truly matters is the item. It should stand on it's own as original or not.

Best,
John

for my eyes, i hope i am wrong:
the seal, the typing letters, the signature are not good,
the signature itself is original, but why it looks very strange on the document.
please post the big foto to us.

[InfanterieSammler]

... the signature are not good,
the signature itself is original...

Huh?

[PanzerElite]

Huh?

i mean the signature is original, but it looks like moved from other document onto the document, how to do it i don't know.

the seal for my eyes is very tough, i really don't like, and the typing letters.

please check it again if you have big scan, we can confirm if you have big scan.

Understood - thank you for clarifying.

I'm not sure what else I can say. I believe the document is 100% original with an original von Brauchitsch signature and the lesser-encountered "Heeres-Personalabteilung" stamp. Attached is another original example for comparison.
