Hello Joe,
Can you post some photos of the overall document and case? Looking at the closeups of the calligraphy, it looks pretty well done but not quite as neatly as others I've seen. Mine is early as well--1941--and I don't know whether or not there was a slight change in style. I believe there are differences between the early examples and the later ones, but I don't have a later example to compare. If this document is a hand done example, it's very interesting.
What does the case look like, overall?
Erich
Hello Bill,
