Nahkampfspange Award Document

[Brian R]

Hi Guys - This citation is currently listed as a part of a small group for sale on an auction site. In my opinion, it is very unusual and I would like to see other examples of this particular type posted. Does anyone have this type in their collection as part of a group? You will see that the font is slightly different than the standard design.

Thanks in advance

[Hank C.]

Looks fine to me. Anything in particular you don't like, or just a style you haven't seen before?

Best,
Hank

Hi Hank - It looks fine to me too. It's just a style I have only seen a couple of times before. I would like to see if there are other examples out there.

Hi Brian. Right, some differences with the Standart Issue in the Lettering and so on, but well, so far, no red Flag, at least for me. I have tried to find out the Signature in the Book "Der Weg der 225.Infanterie-Division", but Could be "Von Langendorf" or something like that. If you know the Name, give it, I can double-check in the divisional History. Kind regards. Lionel.

[Brian R]

Thanks for the reply, Lionel. Indeed, I think it looks good and I agree that it very much looks like Lagendorf (or something similar). A confirmation through the divisional history would be great.
