Marine Art Narvik Doc

[pantherv]

Thought I'd post this Narvik Doc I picked up the other day. What's interesting is Dietel's hand written signature.

Did Dietel hand sign many of these docs and would appreciate opinions on the Citation.

Also attached his EKII.

Are these hand signed?

Are these hand signed?

Both the Narvik docs seem to be.....would there be any reason for this?

And both the EKII's could have been signed in sequence to each other...

Are these hand signed?

Yes, they are. you find both stamped\facsimile and handsigned narvik docs. As for the dates, they reflect when the award was made on orders which was not necessarily the actual date of signing. This is why, with Narviks you see are almost all confined to a few dates.
