LSSAH "Tiger" Panzer Grouping - Peiper Signature

[Oberbootsmann]

Hello. I'd like to show my latest catch - a LSSAH "Tiger" Panzer grouping of SS Schütze Erich Bühler who fought for the "1./(schw.) SS-Panzer-Regiment 1 LSSAH". The lot had never been in collectors hand before.

The grouping consists of:

• PAB Silver award document "1./(schw.) SS-Panzer-Regiment 1 LSSAH", original signature Joachim Peiper
  
• a two-sided replacement document for the lost Wehrpass
  
• Annahmeschein Waffen SS
  
• SS Discharge Order
  
• handwritten curricula vitae

Comments appreciated. Now enjoy the pictures.

Regards

I can't say I've seen anything like the giant "SS" runes on a discharge certificate before...

Hello Oberbootsman,

It looks like a great deal. It looks like a nice PAB document with Peiper signature. Do you perhaps know why is written ( schw) panzer regiment? I thought the LAH had a seperate heavy tank battaillon attached under command of von westernhagen during the normandy campaign and that the LAH has a common panzer regiment? Just ready to learn

I wonder when the first rights of refusal will come

Thanks for sharing

Thanks for all the nice comments so far. I was hoping that the other experts as well would say something about the documents originality. I'm almost a 100% sure that they are but I'd like to hear some opinions of the documents specialists.

As Hank said, you might have a better chance in the Paperwork section, but I see nothing wrong with the PAB citation with the very desireable signature of Jochen Peiper.
The Feldpost Number in the stamps of the 2nd piece of paper on Post 2 matches LSSAH's Panzer Rgt with the FpNr of 48427 being for 3 Kompanie. I don't have my files or any books with me so can't identify the Regimental Commander who has signed that piece of paper I'm afraid.

Great find

I find no faults with this grouping......the Peiper signed document is, IMO, legitimate.

Personally, I really like the double sided "Wehrpass" document....

Hank:

The large red colored SS runes (also to be found in black) on the discharge document is a legitimate period application, the runes a stamping on a standard Discharge document. These SS runes are not always to be found on discharge docs for ex-SS members (don't have any info. as to the "hows and whys" of this), but when they are encountered are usually found on US Discharge documents (like this one)...

Congrats with this great group

Even though I have seen the docs only on my blackberry until now
I like them.

The 'Peiper' is definitely a good variant. Identical to one of mine
picked from an estate in Hamburg.
