Jesus! That letterhead...

Could the shortend signature be an attempt to be less formal and more friendly since it was going to a school kid? Kids often use short names and nick names and would easily identify with that?

Hi,

i'm sure Michael was keeping a few batches of these hidden in a 88mm empty shell in his Tiger.

See You

By the way, I was told that the two genuine examples had been once together (the clipped signature was in the Feldpost), the collector reuniting them. Do you know if this can be confirmed?.

To my knowledge and belief these were sold separately in Germany about 10 years ago to a US collector. They now reside in France.

I have seen several authentic Wittmann signatures owned by a major UK collector when he authenticated a clipping of mine and they all have the same characteristics which older fakes do not. Of course more recent fakes have perfected some of these characteristics.

I though to include a few further MW signatures for consideration. I forget where some of these pictures originated so if anyone has any ownership issues please let me know and I will delete them.

Concert programme - signature looks weak but if someone thrust a piece of paper into your hand to sign with no hard surface to write on perhaps the signature would be different?
