    I look forward to hearing the opinion of the experienced document collectors. Very impressive looking! Is the signature original or faximile?

    Hello Paul,

    thanks for looking. I dont know the signature is original or faximile, because the doc's are with seller.

    I have doubts about the originality and take 1 week time out, to chek it.

    If you need a bigger scan's of the signature and the seal i can ask him for another scan's ?

    Thank you in advance!

    Seller let me know, that looks like faximile. Need you more big scans of the signature? Maybe by mail ?

    My opinion - the document is a fake.

    As You can see on the photo, his first-name is KURT.

    On the award doc KURT is written KURD - in german language there is no first-name written KURD.

    In my opinion on such a high level document a typing error would not have been accepted by anyone.

    Kurt Peters would have refused to take the document and the soldier who made the error would have had a nice week cleaning toilets.

    Kind regards

    Hmmm.

    While I would not trust a website made by non-germans about WW 2 awards, I found out that the spelling

    KURD is north german, used in an area called "Niederelbegebiet" and does actually mean the first-name CORD.

    Okay, new for me. Haven't heard that first-name so far.

    I can not say much about the doc itself, it looks good to me.

    Spelling of german names, places, units etc. is always the first thing I am looking at.

    Many docs from outer-germany have spelling errors like KREIGSMARINE instead of KRIEGSMARINE, FUHRER instead of F?HRER.

    So Kurd seems correct, okay.

    Kint regarts :rolleyes:

    OK, here are two pages of 1 german site :

    First one :

    http://www.blitzgeschwader.de/html/ii__gruppe_kg_31.html

    Peters, Kurd

    And the second :

    http://www.blitzgeschwader.de/html/ii__gruppe.html

    Kurt Peters

    :speechless:

    Tjis is absolutly normal for Germany. They have a big various of dialect, actualy and after the Fonetic Dictionary of Herr Dudenn in 80s of XIXcc

    But we are fluding here. The interesting is wath we do with the big doc of DKiG ? :beer:

    I'm sorry to say - but I agree with Robert. I looked up all the information available to me regarding the Kurt Peters above, his name was never spelled with a d at the end. There was only one Kurd Peters (the one with JG300). To spell Kurt with d at the end is very unusual, so unusual that I believe no one would make that mistake in an official document.

    The people who made this fake document obviously mixed up the two men and therefore ended up with the wrong spelling on the document.

    Notice that in the real letters to his wife he is only referred to by his last name.

    The problem is that in 50% of the sources, doks, letters, papers.. etc, the Hauptmann of Stab II./ Kampf-Geschwader 3 is named KurD and awardet 22 Nov 41

    and in the second 50% he is KurT and is awardet on 24 Nov 41 .

    I have a enormous scans of the paper and my opinion - everything is normal ... but this confusion with the names and the dates !? I dont know what to do with this :speechless:

    And another interesting doc - Ehrenpokale list from 07 Okt 1941 - Kurd Peters :unsure:

    I understand your situation - I'm not a document expert. You need to have a reputable document expert evaluate this. If he accepts the Urkunde as original, who cares about the spelling.

    I hope this works out for you.

    The most interesting is that the same muddle ist with his nameseke Kurd/t Peters - Hauptmann Jagdgeschwader 300 and RK Holder

    http://www.ww2.dk/air/jagd/jg300.htm

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagdgeschwader_300

    ...

    50% Kurt / 50% Kurd :speechless:

    Yes, but most of the "muddle" regarding the spelling of Kurt/d was created after the war, when the two Kurt Peters name spelling was mixed in publications.
