    Hitler signature. Original or print?

    Just not 100% sure about this one. I was under the impression that it was a printed signature and perhaps still do but.....Hmmm. A fellow collector had a look at it and believes its an orginal. It's from my formal Knights Cross document.

    I appreciate any opinions.

    Regards,
    AB.

          Thank you.

          Anyone else want to share their thoughts? I'm not fussed either way because IMO it won't change the value of a formal Knights Cross document. A bonus yes but the value is in the rarity of the document. Hitler did not sign all of them yet the price of one of these depends mainly on condition. I'm just curious to know whether he signed it or not.

            Original, IMO.

              I will assume that if the RK document is genuine, then the Hitler signature
              is also genuine. Can i ask what the date is?

                Definitely hand signed - you can see the stroke of the pen especially on the cross strokes on the closs ups of posts 2 & 3.

                    Thanks to you all for your opinions. Much appreciated.

                    I've had this now for 5 years and never bothered about whether it was an original signature or not.
                    Here are some shots of the document.
