Hello,
A nice award document of "Das Reich" Division. This document is signed by Heinz Lammerding or I'm wrong?

Thanks Pintaius.

Anyone else want to have a guess?

[Adem]

Sorry but I think there are a few problems with the document. The biggest one is the Lammerding signature. The bleeding into the paper, the hesitation marks, lack of flow don't bode well, and the letter formation misses several elements of Lammerding's signature. I may be mistaken, but I would be careful with this one.
Best Regards!

Whilst DR isn't my thing i agree with Adem. It may be the scan but colour of the paper itself seems too brown compared to the normal paper type.

In my opinion, this document is a forgery. Adem has correctly identified faults with the signature, but I believe the date has also been altered. The area around the number 9 appears to have been erased and the number 9 subsequently added. Also, the two number 9s on this document appear to have been typed on different machines!
The item needs proper examination to be certain, but on that evidence alone I would not buy it.

Thank you gentlemen. It is indeed a fake.

I bought this and one other ($5 ea.) so I could keep them as a reference. I will post the other doc below and also in the fake document gallery.

I'm not sure what is wrong with this next document but I believe the stamp is incorrect and the paper is way to thin. Hope this will show to those who are starting out in documents what to look for. They are bound to get better.

Regards,
AB.
