Polizei Signature Help

[MJC]

Can any of you gents identify the name signed here? Best!

Well, not from the microscopic blurry,

but the "Chief of the Order Police" as it says was

Kurt DALUEGE

and he was General der Polizei up to his promotion on 20 April 1942, so this miniature fragment of an ?? officer's commission predates that.

Rick,

Thanks for confirming my suspicions, although looking at his signature, it is still difficult to see how that spells "DALUEGE".

No, this is not some pedestrian commission, but something much nicer The original doc is being restored and I only had the crappy scan I posted. The doc belongs to the man pictured on the right. Look closely for the clue. More later, and thanks again.

Hello :

As Rick already pointed out the signature may well be that of Gen.d.Pol. Kurt Daluege.

A comparison of this signature and the one pictured in Michael Miller's new reference book "Leaders of the SS & German Police" Vol. 1 pertaining to D.shows great similarity. Daluege was apparently authorized to sign on H.Himmler's behalf when H. was absent.

A quick search has turned up this document signed by ?Daluege?.

Mike,

Is your man wearing a Bergf?hrer badge?

Ding, Ding, Ding.....we have a winner! The Polizei Bergfuehrerabzeichen doc should be back from the hospital in a few weeks and I'll post some before and afters, if anyone is interested. It is part of a comprehensive group.

Ernst, I know I've said it before, but your site is awesome!
