War Cross Document

[robcox1]

What would be a fair price for this document? The Hitler signature is printed, not signed.

At the top end or somewhat more than the estimated price range of 500-1000 USD at Cowans i would have thought. You don't often see a KVK without swords up for sale and this one is to someone implicated in war crimes and an SS-Oberführer.

Any idea why it didn't generate more interest? I know Cowans has been known to have both good and bad items. I don't know much about documents, but having said that, it certainly looks good in comparison to all the threads I have looked at.

Perhaps the right collectors simply weren't there. I see no immediate red flags with it. A desirable item i would have thought.

I take it this Document was in a past Auction on Cowan's? I cant find it on there up and coming Auctions site

Simon,
Meyer was not implicated in war crimes. He was found not guilty, through lack of any evidence, of all charges other than being a member of an illegal organisation, the SS. For this "crime" he was sentenced to 2 years 10 months imprisonment.
