Secret State Police handstamp... for what?

[Adam Lewis]

Our local museum received this WW2 era hand stamp from a veteran. I'm posting it here because to describe the item accurately I need to know what it was used for (there's a numeral 1 as part of the design).

Can anyone help?

Thank you,
Adam

PS I flipped the image horizontally - makes the text easier to read.

It's cast in reverse. I flipped the photo so it would be more legible.

Sorry Adam but this is not an original Gestapo document stamp.

That's the problem, It's cast.

I can only echo the previous comments, this is a reproduction made within the last 20 years in eastern Europe, I am sorry.

Thanks

Thanks, it's nice to know what we have.

Were originals machine-made? Can someone post a scan/photo of a real one?

Thanks to all who responded.

Looks as though it was engraved.
