Sorry.....
3 red flags for me are:
The last 'S' in the title......the stroke 'S' shouldn't appear at the end of a word;
The laboured signature; and
The 'OKW' stamp. This should be a unit stamp or a feldpost stamp.Comment

Shouldn't there be "Im Osten" instead of "Im Ost" ?

That makes 4 red flags.
There are probably more.......but that's enough for me.
There's a fifth.....'datuml'??Comment

There's that god awful OKW stamp again.
A company commander is too low an authority to be issuing this anyway, it should be regimental or divisional commander, also that should be the 3 stufe not 'gold stufe'
A genuine one of these would be incredibly rare. The only one that springs to my mind (for a gold badge that is) is the field typed one as shown in the German language version of Sepp Allerberger's book.Last edited by Simon O.; 01-02-2007, 02:20 PM.Collecting German award documents, other paperwork and photos relating to Norway and Finland.Comment

Hi,
an other red flag:
there is written "würde" .. verliehen - but it must be writte "wurde" - without the two dots.
"würde" is subjunctive (in German Konjunktiv).
