Eiserne Kreuz I document for a para

[Michel S]

Please, how much is worth this document from Eiserne Kreuz I? It's for sale. Is it a real one? The signature is not the same for others.

Thank you !

Does that stamp say 'Der reichsminister der luftfahrt und Oberbefelshaber der Luftwaffe' ? Did Student have that bad a signature?

[Michael Miller]

It does seem a strange stamp to see on a document signed by Student.
Re: the signature- possible it deteriorated somewhat after a "friendly fire" incident in the Netherlands when Student was hit in the head by an LSSAH man's bullet.

Best,

I'm not too keen on the aging either actually, seems somewhat overdone. Needs the FJ experts to have a look i think.

[Michael Miller]

You're reading my mind, Simon! I thought the same regarding aging.

Thank you ! I did receive a e-mail about the stamp. It is correct. I show it in the Fallschirmjäger forum.

Friendly,

Agreed about the stamp, but the signature looks different to similar Student sigs from the time. Hopefully the FJ experts can give a better opinion.

Good news ! The document is true. The signature from Student is manuscript but many are facsimiles.
