Hi,
C-R-A-P.
All the documents with a "division Charlemagne" stamp are FAKES.
No such stamp existed. Source ? Robert Soulat, translator at the Brigade Headquarters (still alive and well) !
I give him from time to time pictures of all the fakes pictured on the web.
I know that many collectors on the WAF have such documents, but i'm very sorry for them, they are just fakes...
It seemed that a german forger is milking on the fakes "Charlemagne" documents.
This is the same as the few fakes field-orders from the Pomerania campaign, with blue and red pens...
See You

Well the stamp was already a fake one for me anyway !, as the font that is used is the wrong one and without any doubts.
There are stampers for other Divisions going around with the same wrong font for many - may years now.
They were coming from the east, brass stamper, dark brown wooden handle etc.
See all those other threads over fake stampers !
Best regards
Eric-Jan

Hi,
all the division rank "Charlemagne" stamps are fakes, as most of the "1945 late war documents"...
Real stamp : brigade rank.
But you may understand that giving this information will give the fakers a new way to make more convincing fakes unfortunately.
I don't think that posting the real stamp will be a good way to help the collectors. SS french items are highly faked.
At least, you can be sure that all the division rank stamps from 1944 to 1945 are bogus.
I didn't checked all the variations of the fake stamps...
Fortunately, most of the signatures are also bogus too (Krukenberg, Fenet, Puaud etc). ^_^
See You

Damn Fakers !
FrenchVolunteer, I agree with you, we can't help these Damn Faker's ! They make our interest & collecting very hard & expensive ! Thanks for the info you gave. I saw on a website a photo of an EK2 document & medal. The Document was signed by General Krukenberg. I wonder if it was also a fake ? Tom

Hi,
i think we all think to the same picture, which is on the website of one of our friends of the WAF...
This document is unfortunately fake, M. Soulat and I found at least 5 epic errors on it, that confirm that the document is 500% bogus.
- signature : fake
- stamp : fake
- name : error in it, fake
- rank : error in it, fake
- date : historical inaccuracy, fake
See You
Vince
