Himmler Signature?

[RoyA]

May I please ask for opinions on the authenticity of this Himmler signature?
Thank you!

I don't like it, especially the second part of the signature.

[Antonio Scapini]

Too much differences with an original one. Distances, dots and letters are wrong.

lets also check the SS bookplate and SS Stempel

Hello Roya
I do not feel I am expert enough to comment on the Himmler signature even though I have a few myself.
But I do have some old info and suspicions that the SS Oberbayern book plate has been sold as a reproduction, i think it was sold before as a repro in Scandinavia.
I also dont like that a disreputable website "GermaniaInternational" has produced seemingly an inexhaustible supply of nazi era books with this version of bookplate already in it.

Now this does not mean your bookplate in this particular book is a fake, but it is a factor to consider.

I would really like an expert on bookplates to answer, but there will probably be none on WAF.
So instead, lets hear from some SS Stempel(SS stamp) collectors on whether the Stemples are any good.

I hate to say it but there is a chance it is all totally a fake where they "tried too hard," throwing in every bell and whistle.
By the way, what is the title and content of the book itself, as this may be interesting also, even if all the markings, etc are fake.
Sincerely,
MF

HH signature looks wrong and why would someone stamp a book like a document?

Sorry but the signature is definitely no good, every detail about it is wrong. Himmler never signed that sloppily for one thing and had a much more angular signature.

Thanks very much for your help guys!

That signature is indeed very bad. It looks very much like those on germaniainternational's "super rare gestapo Himmler documents". I assume that was the source for this book to?

Compare to this one from germania

Dodgy dealers swapping dodgy inventory.

After seeing the link with the actual title and publisher:

TR Book collectors know that type of book is very cheap and easy to come by, yet has a nice dust jacket of soldiers, etc.

Just the perfect match to add the fake stuff to fool some people with little cost to the faker.

Depressing. Makes me want to buy gold instead.... but what a boring hobby that is!

So is the bookplate authentic? They like it over in the SS insignia forum, but maybe it's been reproduced like the Hitler bookplate.
