I understand what you are saying, but you may not be aware that Fegelein's forged signatures have started to appear on the market. Nearly all of them are on Verleihungslisten and are very well executed. This is enough to create a need for closer examination. His signature on a Verleihungsliste and also on a postcard sketch of him are the commonest forms of genuine signatures to find and therefore these are the forms which are attractive to forgers. I have several Fegelein signature examples in my archive, so I am well acquainted with his authentic autograph.
As for the Globocnik, I have over a dozen in my archive on various letter headings. I have studied him closely and know his documents better than most SS Generals. Letters are typed by a secretary and the signature added after completion. If you take out the signature in the one in this thread, you will notice that the salutation ("Heil Hitler!") and Globus' rank are not aligned. This was and still is a heinous offence by a secretary. Also, the Daluege initials appear a little too broad. The Globus signature appears OK on the face of it.
Both these documents require closer examination for the reasons given, rather than just saying they are "....100% good." I have no doubt that they both would prove to be authentic, unlike the other two, but I prefer to reserve judgement before making a commitment.
Max.
