Peter J Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) As a part of a group, here's a document I need help to dicypher. At the right top it reads 1926, but the lower right reads 1935, as well as the comment with pencil 16,5 1935. How could a document that apparently was printed 1935 end up with a reference to 1926?

Chris Boonzaier Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Hi Peter, looks as right as rain... all 1926 but with a penciled note from 1935? All the best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter J Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 That's right Chris, but what about the printing at the extreme lower right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dond Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Can't read the printing in the lower right corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Boonzaier Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Hi, i dont think that is a date, just a coincidence that it looks like it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dond Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Perhaps a form number then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Perhaps a form number then? I agree, This IS a self authenticating document ;-) I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter J Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Chris, you just couldn't resist, right? I appreciate the feedback guys and I wasn't really worried about the aunthenticity, merely curious about this coincident. For your viewing pleasure, here are the rest of the docs.

turtle Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Great group, especially with the awards! I think the pencil note on the first document reads something like: Fr. Kr. a. 16.5.35 This could be short for Frontkämpfer Kreuz (Ehrenkreuz für Frontkämpfer / Hindenburg Cross) awarded to him on the 16.5.1935.

Peter J Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 I think that's a very plausible assumption, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
