.....oh and for the record this was a direct veteran bring back purchase

[HAF]

I think he's implying that the stamp is in a typeface and style not original to WW2 and was possibly added much later.

yes thats my opinion too

so is the stamp legit? if yes im sorry for my post,.

[Ian Jewison]

The FP Nr. is 43250 B which corresponds with 1. Kompanie, Wach-Bataillon Afrika which corresponds with the rest of the Soldbuch......

I didn't see a problem with the stamp....but as you know fakes are common and getting better....with that said some people have made a few mistakes on here recently.....no names but I thought they would have known better.

so is the stamp legit? if yes im sorry for my post,.

No worries ....it says a lot for your character

[OSS]

To my knowledge, it was the only unit in Afrika that wore embroidered straps.
