I'd like to open a discussion on this Lappland shield doc currently for sale on the e-stand.

*edit* : sales thread now removed at sellers request
I have issues with it.
Firstly, it's the wrong style for this unit\reservation. The style on the doc for sale was used in the mid-norway region, roughly centered on Trondheim. The style in use at Starum, much further south in the Lillehammer, Hamar area was as shown below.
Also, the doc below, which is now in my collection, was published in Hartungs guides to 3rd reich docs. Note that the stamp is clearly different and on my earlier one is de-nazified as it should be.
Furthermore, the style of the doc differs from originals, compare the 2 in 20 with this one below. I have several of this style and have seen quite a few more and all have this style of 2.
The doc for sale however uses a style which is also to be found in fake blanks for sale currently on militaria321

IMO, a very competent fake.
