I'm afraid that the signature and citation is a fake.

Oh, thanks hucks216. Not an expert and I had some doubts. I'll pass on this then.

Hi Gentleman,

Trying to identify this signature on a 1939 EKI certificate. The commander general of the 9th army at that time was the Generaloberst Adolf Strauß but the signature doesn't match. 

Any help is appreciated. 

Thanks

Hi M.

the cross looks absolutely fine to my eyes. Nice piece. 
I’m no expert on urkunde but from the examples I’ve owned I see no problems with that one. 
perhaps if you post it in the signatures forum someone will be able to identify the awarding officer. 
 

nice set. 

Thanks Glenn, really appreciated, also for the suggestion about the signatures forum!

Hello,

I'm new to the forum and I would like to ask for your opinion about this EK1 with its urkunde. The piece has been picked up from a family in Mannheim from a collector friend of mine so it should be original, but I'm not very knowledgeable about certificates.

Thanks!

M
