RKT Formal Award Document

[ahrtal]

Don't remember if I posted this before. Excuse me if I did. This is a formal award document awarded posthumously to a LW Oberfeldwebel Edmund Wagner. His first kill was over England in 1940. The remainder (55 kills) were on the Eastern Front. Edmund Wagner was killed on 13 November 1941 near Pawmutowka, Russia after being hit by Soviet flak. He was posthumously awarded the Knight's Cross on 17 November 1941. This bears an original AH signature. 

I actually got it from an online estate sale in Florida. My daughter lives there and picked it up for me. I had no idea that it was original at the time, nor that it was do massive.

Hello Arhtal,

Very nice book.....Do you think the signature is original from adolf......If so, could be worth a lot on money....I hope it is for you!

Best to you.....Desert Rat/ Ian

It's definitely not an autopen. From the originals I have seen, the time-frame of the award, the variations in ink depth and dispersion, little is left to doubt.

Nice document, shame about the water damage but it is what it is...

Has the back of the folder been badly damaged?
