Posting this for comments as to period originality, please.

It was issued in the name of Obergefreiten Karl Lauer at the Fuehrerhauptquartier on 1.September 1942 and bears what I believe to be a facsimile signature of "Keitl" showing his ink stamp as "Chef des Oberkommandos der Wehrmacht".

Thanks for looking and eventual feedback.

They did use this stamp. I have three FHQ citations that were issued to a Generalleutnant der Polizei and all three have that wording within the stamps.

Hello,

For me, document OK. Here are two examples of the same type of stamp on documents of the FHQ.

The first one in April, 1942 and the second in January, 1944.

Cordial greetings.
