U-Boot Award document

[Edgar Alcidi]

Guys, I need your help on this one, original??

Thanks in advance,
Edgar

[Brian R]

I don't like the stamp or the Roesing signature.

I agree with Brian, although 8 out of 10 for effort on the signature but the shaky loop on the R gives it away and all the Roesing signatures I have seen are quite large or stamped.

The stamp is probably fake also.

[Simon O.]

I agree with the others, i don't like the stamp, sig or colour\contrast between the paper and typing.

[Edgar Alcidi]

Thanks guys, you confirmed my doubts....The paper seems to be bad as well...so in total crap..

I have my doubts about this document.

Gentlemen,

Have a look at the other threads too.

The faker did use the same fake document.

Not only a fake stamp and fake signature, but also a fake document is used.

Also a wrong typewriter is used this time.

That document is a fake / reprint that goes around for about 15 to 20 years now.

Often seen for sale with different names by a German dealer who visits shows in Huizen and Arnhem.

There are different stamps and signatures known to be used on it.

This version of the UBoat document does show a failure, the small black mark on the left arm of the German cross.

"That document is a fake / reprint that goes around for about 15 to 20 years now".

Erik-Jan, it's actually older than that. I've got a blank document, which I believe I purchased around 1982. It has the same smeared swastika.

Peter,

Thank you for the information.

I have never seen a blank version of this fake.

And 15 to 20 years ago I did see the first filled-in version appearing on the market.

Concerning the smeared swastika, the ones I have seen were really printed, not made with a copier-machine, so the failure must have been on the print-plate.

Very interesting Eric-Jan, thanks again. I noticed the black arm on the EK too when I opened the frame......The problem was that this document was framed when I got it and from the pictures sent previously was all very hard to see trough the dirty glas. Anyway I can send it back with no problems
