[Angel Farré]

Taking a look into my groups I have found that some citations are makermarked or something like that, show yours and, if someone knows, give us an explanation about the marks.

I will post 6 that are currently in my collection and close ups of the marks.

It's a worthwhile subject to bring up Angel as printers marks can be a useful aid in determining authenticity. Take the last doc you posted, from the wehrkreis V printers and being issued by a hospital in Freiburg...which is in wehrkreis V.

I think that there are two diferet types, ones printed for Wehrkreis to its use and others privately printed following specifications for the field units......... so we can see common for the first type wound badges, flower wars medals and campaign ones that can be awarded by Wehrkreis authorities and the second ones are more common for combat badges that were awarded by front line units.
