On the other hand, you believe the Hitler and Goebbels to be authentic and you have COAs in support. In addition, the seller also believes them to be authentic.
I mentioned that I am not a believer in COAs, but many people swear by them. Again, it's a matter of choice. However, if I wanted a signature authenticated I would take it to a specialist autograph authenticator, not a general militaria dealer. In saying that, I am sure militaria dealers are experts in their own field and I would not question their authentication of an item of militaria as I do not not have the expertise.
Remember, everyone can make mistakes, including dealers and no matter how experienced a collector. As collectors we can only give our opinions and if you are happy with the signatures, then that's all that matters.
Good hunting!
Max.
