Guys I have a friend interested in buying a large Oakleaves document to a Uboat commander. It is in excellent condition. Neither of us has any idea what one of these might sell for and would appreciate any assistance you guys could provide. Thanks!

Here's another question: Is this document being sold by the family of the original recipient or by someone else? If other than the recipient's family, what is the history of this piece's travels since it left the possession of the original recipient?
It might be very difficult to answer this question if it is being offered for sale by anyone other than the original recipient's family, but to secure solid provenance, this question must be properly answered. And if being offered by the family, is a notarized statement of originality being included with the document...and if not, can it be secured now? Very important questions, IMHO.

Br. JamesOriginally posted by InfanterieSammler View PostInteresting...Personally, I would not consider provenance very important. It would be nice to have, but it is not difficult to establish the originality of a Formal Oakleaves document. If are discussing the Oakleaves medal, then I would agree that provenance would be key in establishing the relationship to the recipient.

Okay, I finally got some responses from the guy that's actually seen it and is interested in buying it.
1. He wants to buy it
2. He is not willing to list the name of the recipient.
3. He says the condition is very good, no stains or tears.
4 It has a facsimile signature.
6. Does not have the original package
7. No feltIgnored Due To Invisibility.
