Wittmann Clipped Signature

[stgeorge64]

Earlier, it has been mentioned about Ritterkreuztrager signed 'generic' photographs which might not actually contain the individual concerned. Well, my input into this comment is that many years ago I owned a photograph of a JU87 signed by Jagdfleiger ace Walter Oesau (who to my knowledge never flew Stukas!) and I defy anyone to claim the signature to be anything other than original. (I still have a photocopy of this piece and will post it in the near future). So, it was not always the case that only Hoffmann, Willrich etc portrait photographs would be signed but also (somtimes at least) pictures of a less associated manner.

Regards Richard.

Slightly later than anticipated, the photograph of a JU87 Stuka signed by Walter Oesau (a man who as far as my knowledge goes, was not associated with this type of aircraft).

Unfortunatly, I only have a photocopy so the quality could be better however, the signature can easily be seen.

Regards Richard.

You have a valid point. Just like there is no accounting for taste, there is no accounting for what crazy things people get signed by celebrities. For example, I got Günther Rall to sign a US penny postcard from my grandfather's philatelic collection simply because I was in a hurry and grabbed the first "historic" looking thing for him to sign.

Maybe we should have a thread for the least-related signed items.
