Hi All,
I'm new to this forum, and to forums generally so apologies in advance if i completely fail to put this in the right section/format. I was prompted to come here in researching a document of my late fathers. Hopefully attached below is a dropbox link for it.
My dad was ex army obtained this from a British Army Museum around 20 years ago when they were having a clear out. Das Ritterkreuz Des Eisernen Kreuzes Urkunde on vellum in the original tooled leather cover, chased in gold (front, edges and inner 3 lines) with the name 'Frieda Thiersch' on the bottom centre of the inner cover. Inside, the vellum has some damage to the left hand side which i think are from museum stickers and the lettering is by hand as it is very slightly raised, more so on the Gold. The date of award matches the date for Wilhelm Crisolli's award, given all that and a little bit of expert opinion i believe it's a genuine one.
I'd appreciate any extra information on it as it's an interest we shared, but it's also something we are looking to sell so would be interested in your opinions on value and really appreciate any help you could give me as to the best place to do so.
