Paul R Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 I look forward to hearing the opinion of the experienced document collectors. Very impressive looking! Is the signature original or faximile?
DDD777 Posted May 1, 2009 Author Posted May 1, 2009 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!
DDD777 Posted May 1, 2009 Author Posted May 1, 2009 I look forward to hearing the opinion of the experienced document collectors. Very impressive looking! Is the signature original or faximile?Seller let me know, that looks like faximile. Need you more big scans of the signature? Maybe by mail ?
Robert Noss Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 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 regardsRobert

I have a 3,5 mb verry verry verry big scans of the seal and Fat Boy signature,can sent by mail , if interesting ovcourse?Thank you!Regards!
Robert Noss Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 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 Roberd
DDD777 Posted May 1, 2009 Author Posted May 1, 2009 (edited) OK, here are two pages of 1 german site :First one :http://www.blitzgeschwader.de/html/ii__gruppe_kg_31.htmlPeters, KurdAnd the second :http://www.blitzgeschwader.de/html/ii__gruppe.htmlKurt Peters 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: Edited May 1, 2009 by DDD777
Naxos Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) 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. Edited May 2, 2009 by Naxos

DDD777 Posted May 2, 2009 Author Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) 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 41and 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 And another interesting doc - Ehrenpokale list from 07 Okt 1941 - Kurd Peters :unsure: Edited May 2, 2009 by DDD777
DDD777 Posted May 2, 2009 Author Posted May 2, 2009 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.htmhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagdgeschwader_300...50% Kurt / 50% Kurd

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.Regards, Hardy
