Lappland doc and shield in the june 2015 Thies auction

[Simon O.]

As with the fake Lappland doc at the HH auction the other week, there is another up for sale in the upcoming Thies auction.

The auction estimate is also a ridiculous 1800 Euros

It looks convincing until you put it up against genuine examples. The shield itself i've no opinion over.

Compare the stamps, you'll notice the Thies one is different.
Also note that the printed main part of the doc is different (compare the letter placings)
A different typewriter has been used for the recipient and date details and the signature is different.

Another example. You can also find an example in Forman's guide to Third Reich documents

I see 4 different signatures !!!

Perhaps i should add that i found the Lapplandschild award lists from the senior naval officer in Tromsø in the Norwegian national archives and all names are to be found, including the 61 VP Fl. example in Forman's book, except the one in Thies's auction.

IMO both are fake, shield and Document. I see original Shields and noone looks like this on the picture. And for the price...nope thanks.
