Hi Hank
I wanted to confirm whether they were original , and details of who are the signatures.

The EK II is signed by Joachim Lemelsen whereas the EK I looks to of been signed by Gustav Harteneck - he was promoted to General d. Kav 01-Sep-1944 so the date on that citation should be after that.
I used to have a photo album to Art.Abt 422 - one of the best photo albums I've seen and one I sometimes regret selling.

Hi Eduard,

I agree with Hank. Looks like a very nice and original document grouping. EK2 document is signed by Joachim Lemelsen and the EK1 by Gustav Harteneck.

Best regards,
Tom

I agree, a nice find. EKI awards to the 'private' ranks are not that common at all.

[EDUARD]

thank you all for your kindness and for the information .
One last thing, € 300 for the lot it is a good buy ?

Hi Eduard,

Price seems a bit high so not a bargain IMO. But it is an original grouping with nice signatures and, as Simon says, you don't see an Obergefreiter with an EK1 too often. IMO worth about $250.

Best regards,
Tom

A nice group, but overpriced in my opinion.

Normally you can found some bargains in the flea markets and this is at normal market value.

Neverless I nice addition to your collection.
