I have no idea of what his pre -injury signature looks like but have a look at this.

That looks like a forgery to me.

I agree that the signature doesn't look anything like known and verified originals. The document looks good though or is it all a fabrication. Jim

I would be very skeptical of this document. It’s not for me.

[Mithrandir]

Kind of such documents circles since 2-3 year through several german auction houses. Also with other rare signatures like Dirlewanger or von dem Bach.

I would pass on this one. Tom

I would say fake. Very similar to another example I have in my files....right down to the wide tipped fountain pen. HH has presented dubious CvS signatures before, in common with several other houses (e.g. schmolt). I enquired about provenance on one and got a fairy story that did not IMO hold up.

See my post here in the von Tresckow thread for another piece of evidence against the Stauffenberg's authenticity.

i saw it to be auctioned at HH auctionhouse today.
after years passes, i am not strange that HH sells fakes.
in China ancient section, there are so many.....
we couldn't depand on others people or auctionhouse to offer
original stuff for our collection, just depand on your own skills.
