I have to admit that "Kuratorium" and "frankandfrank" are absolutely right. While having a closer look on the better scans it was clear that the group is a total fake. Well done but not well enough.
In the end the crucial factor was the following:
The sellers friend from the same town who I know from the Militaria Fundforum and who was kind enough to help the seller with the negotiations has offered me just a couple of days later the group shown below in this posting. Also a bad fake ...
Perhaps another well known member from the WAF who also made contact with the seller from the other group can say something.
Isn't that a big coincidence? Two killer document groups with two absolutely identical documents for TDB and GAB 25 which were offered at the same town at the same time from two persons who know each other very well? Even the pictures of the two different groups were taken from the same camera model within a couple of days!!!
I have the seller informed to retreat from the contract.
