Hi Paul,

It didn't exist until late 1943. However Georgisches Feld-Bataillon I./9 was in the Crimea. These links should help:

I think the Wound in Black and Ostvölker have a chance on being OK, however I am not so keen on the EK II and IAB entry....or the Wound in Silver.

The signatures look good for the Hptm. u. Kp. Chef and are consistent!

Too me it look likes that all the 1944-entries are made with the same handwriting.

So, all fake or all original?
