Help: LSSAH DK in gold Award Document

[Fronturlauber]

I can't find this soldier's name, Potter, listed with the LSSAH.
If you think the document for the German Cross in gold is real (original), then who's ink stamped signature is on the bottom? Thanks in advance for your opinions.

This document is of the fourth Issue type but IMO its a fake.
Firstly, I can't find in my reference books of DKiG winners by Horst Scheibert anyone by that name. SS or otherwise. Secondly, the GFM who signed it (stamped) is Sepp Dietrich.... except he was never a GFM! Lastly, The stamp is that of LSSAH. My understanding is that for HEER and SS it was always a OKH stamp. Now unless this is a "one of a kind" document, I would say, at best, it's an original 4th issue document with someone typing in a bogus SS soldiers name to add some value to it.

Regards,
AB.

And of course Wisch was the LAH Division Commander from July 1943...

Definitely a very bad fake.

Now that I think about this document it has another big mistake:
the unit name and type is missing; for example "II./SS-PZ.GREN.RGT #

Listing only LSSAH at this time of the war refers to the division and not the unit/Kp./Btl./Rgt. that the soldier was serving under.

Thanks for your help gentlemen.

The person who faked that one has no respect for the intelligence of the buyer.

Is this the brother of Harry Potter ?

Hardigan and Jonathan M:

You guys read my mind. Thanks for making me laugh.
I've had that document for over 15 years, way before the Harry Potter movies.
Maybe I should compare the handwriting or type keys to J.K.Rowling's.


Perhaps that is were the real value now lies.

Sorry I had to remove the giant photo - I was running out of web space.
