Good LW Ehrenpokal Document?

[Greg]

Does this look like a good Ehrenpokal document? I've never handled one, but I thought the facsimile Göring signature on the later ones was supposed to be centered on the form, with the signature of the Chief of the LW Personnel Department in the lower right. This also looks like the Göring signature has been faked to look like an original instead of facsimile. It has some other features of the fake document shown in François' article on the main site.

Any opinions?

Thanks,
Greg

First you should read

and

http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/hono..._documents.htm

after, you will start to have a good idea of what you have

Not my area of expertise but i wouldn't touch this with a barge pole.
And what have those 2 badges to do with it?

Hello ,
this is the badest fake I ever saw ,Look at the text "schob er seinen letzten ...."
schob means push.................
it has to say schoß which means shoot ......
The Göring signature is defenatly a fake .I think there is someone
doing a document for himself but this one is a fake .
Hopefully someone could show you a real one here .
By the way .Heinrich Bartels was found later after war and is buried in Villip near Bonn on the same cementery as General
Johannes Steinhoff .Bartels tombstone shows the word "Ritterkreuzträger" which is very rare in Germany

Hi François,

Thanks! When I said it had features of the fake shown in your article on the main site, those Ehrenpokal document pages were what I was referring to. So IMO, it's fake.

Simon,
The police eagle and breast eagle don't have anything to do with the document. I don't have any of these things in hand; someone just sent me the image and asked about them.

Thanks,
Greg

Hi Uli,

Thanks, you are right, a "b" does not substitute for an Ettzett (hope I spelled it right)!

Also, isn't that a little late in the war to be handing out Honor Goblets??

I thought they started the Honor Roll Clasp in July '44???

... gee...you think he could have at least started with a fresh toner cartridge in the copier!!

The Sharpie marker is also a nice touch

the faker failed to press <i>shift</i> key when he typed <b>B</b> to imitate (bad imitation to say the least...) <b>&szlig;</b>...
