Help with W?rttemberg unit CO's autograph

[Max Williams]

I'm trying to identify the signature below. He was a Oberstleutnant and commanding officer of the 65th Artillery Regiment in November 1908. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Max.

Hi Max,

the last rank for Erwin von Heimerdinger, "re-enlisted" in WWI, was Generalmajor.

Later he had connections with an occult organization, the "Germanenorden"; he was the chancellor for some time.

What's the whole document you've cropped the signature and stamps bit from?

I don't have it. It's a scan been sent to me to try and help with ID. I didn't recognise the signature as it's not my area of collecting, but I've certainly heard of him. A very interesting guy.

Sometimes people seem to forget that the person who signed OFF on paperwork was signing it for...

the person the paperwork was made out FOR...

who is very often just as interesting.

I don't recoignize the format of the place/date/rank sign off lines here. More elaborate than the usual draftee's discharge Good Conduct (F?hrungszeugnis) report, which made me wonder what it WAS written out for... and for whom. :rolleyes:
