Award Document Grouping

Hi guys,

I bought this four document grouping at the SOS this past weekend. It is to an Obergerfeiter that served in Panzergrenadier Regiment 25 of the 12. Panzer Division.

Best regards,
Tom

Hi Fred,

Very nice EK2 document with the Wessel signature.

As Tom B said, SOS is the Show of Shows, sponsored by the Ohio Valley Military Society. It is held every year in Louisville, Kentucky, usually in February or early March. It is the biggest militaria show in the world with about 2000 tables.

Now that is a mouthful!

Hi Gian.,

Thank you for responding. And what a great document that is for the Panzer Assault Badge Grade 2. A rare document for sure! Interesting, though, that the Grade 2 was awarded for 25 combat days, yet the document specifies only 24 for this recipient.

Best regards,
Tom
