EK1 SS Document??

[Gary B]

Hi,

Any opinions on this EK1 document to an SS NCO?

I'm not familiar with SS formations and their abbreviations, but just from the basic "look" of the document, it appears good.

As I am familiar with what price SS stuff brings, you'll want more than just my general observation on it. Others here can tell you if unit, stamp, etc, appear correct.

Dear Hank,

Thanks for the comments. I will try posting in the SS section.

Hello Gary,

I think this document stands a good chance of being real. This style of EKI document is typical for a late-war award such as this. The recipient's unit designation looks good to me and the eagle ink stamp is also proper for this late-war period. The Division Commander (Karl Kreutz) is correct for the date of award. Overall, I like it. However, as Hank mentioned, you have to be extremely careful with SS stuff, as very convincing fakes abound.

Best regards,
Tom
