[Giel VW]

Hello,
I would like to get some thoughts about this IAB is silver document, it's from the 2nd ss panzer grenadier regiment "wiking". Is this an original according to you?
Help would be very kind!
Thanks,

I am sure this has been posted before ..I seem to recognise the format and signature,....the opinion wasn't very favourable at the time!!!

I will try and find it.... I don't have my SS references to hand at the moment.

Hi Ian,

Thanks for your reply, I couldn't find the thread

Well..

1. It's the wrong decoration. Should be PAB in bronze for a panzer grenadier rgt should it not?

2. Signed at battalion level and yet it's a divisional stamp?

3.I have two commanders of II.\SS-Pz.Gr.Rgt.9 for 1944. Hstuf Heinrich Amber (later Stubaf) and Hstuf Franz Pleiner.

Can you remember this one before Simon?

I'm sure we've gone through it in the past, however couldn't find anything when doing a search....

Or maybe seen it on Militariaweb!?!

I would not buy it.
It is just the wrong decoration. A Panzergrenadier was not supposed to be awarded a IAB in Silver.
