GdC26 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Gents, I bought this card, but have difficulty decyphering the dedication. Any help you can give is much appreciated. Any way to tell whether the dedication is original, or a print? Regards, Sandro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Sandro, I believe it says, "Leopold, Prinz Regent, Generalfeldmarschall 1916". It looks like a handwritten signature, but I can say nothing about the authenticity. Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GdC26 Posted June 11, 2011 Author Share Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) Many thanks, Chip. I think you're right, except that the second line seems to read "Prinz v. Bayern". Much appreciate the help. The signature looks authentic to me as well, but I cannot see the "groving" that I would expect to see on a dedication written in pen. Perhaps I'm wrong, and is it a handwritten dedication.

Chip Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) You are correct. That second word in the second line was the only one I was unsure about. You already knew! Chip Edited June 11, 2011 by Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
