            What do you think is odd about the text on the reverse?

            #2 is pretty much the same, just with the addition: Hack "bei einer Ordensverl[eihung]. (EK. 1)

              ...bei einer Ordensverleihung (EK 1) = during a EK 1 award cermony. Russland 1943.

                There is ss panzer regiment der fuhrer stamp and text is ss rgt Wiking.I think they are two different regiments,so why they are under same stamp?

                  Post-war, I think.

                      Looks glossy. In some cases that's not a good thing. The writing on the reverse in such a set stamp seems suspicious too, but I'm not sure about that.

                        Would be nice to see a clear version of the photos... If they are fake I am wondering why the faker would have made such an obvious "mistake" and combined a Führer stamp with a Wiking inscription...

                            I agree with Robin. The pen looks like a modern tip, and the writer seems to be mixing elements of Sutterlin and "normal" cursive. The writing doesn't flow like it should if somebody was labeling them in a manner they were accustomed to...i.e., just writing a description in your own hand.

                              In one case it is written "Rgt Wiking" and then in the other case it is Rgt "Wiking" with the Rgt squeezed in as an afterthought.

                              I agree the handwriting looks modern and the mixup with the Rgt Wiking labeling suggests it was someone who was trying hard to be authentic rather than just making an everyday notation.
