Hi
Nice photo

Thoght I would have some concerns regarding the Urkunde.
In my books I can´t find any units named SS Pz Aufkl. Abt 2 which should have been a part of the 10th SS Pz Division "Frundsberg" ?
The SS Pz Aufkl. Abt 2 would be a part of the 2nd SS Pz. Div. "Das Reich" and the Pz Division Frundsberg would have had the Pz Aufkl. Abt. 10.

2nd; the name mentioned: SS Division "Frundsberg" should imo have been
10. SS Pz Div. Frundsberg. Using only the words "SS Division" would be wrong too, this was used early in the war, as in 1942 most WSS Division was converted into "Pz Gren. Div" and later some into "Pz Div".

Last point, the stamp on the Urkunde looks wrong to me.

I´m not saying the Urkunde is a fake, it is proberly good.
But concidering the facts I have pointed out, I would pass on it, if I saw it for sale

Hi AJ:
Please keep me posted on any additional info! I have little doubt the document is authentic as I got this right from my friend who it was awarded to.However I know [B]NOTHING [B] about which units were attached to who. Maybe it is a typo or? I do have a Hack signed certificate that shows a bronze CCC listed as "1 stuffe" lol......please keep me posted om any info & let me know if you ever decide to part w/ the SS pz pics from your previous post! Best Rich

PS: Ive enlarged the stamp which, IMO, is correct.
