Authentication historical research certificate?

[spartan]

Hello,

I saw this Gold Star SN. 4832 on ebay with historical research certificate. But I noticed the signature and format on this certificate is a little different from other certificate posted on www.collectrussia.com. What do you think of this certificate or Gold Star?  Thank you.

It looks the part to me!  Very nice!  I'd love to have a complete group with this, but dont have a house to sell yet.

Gents,

  Five years ago, this HSU gold star medal was in the collection of a respected and currently active forum member.  Uncertain if it has since changed hands.

Can't comment on the authenticity but the award is to the major general commanding the 350th Rifle Division for the crossings of the Western Bug, San and Visla Rivers in July 1944. He also received three Orders of Lenin, four Orders of the Red Banner, the Order of Suvorov, 2nd Class, two Orders of Patriotic War, 1st Class and some foreign medals.

Obviously subject to detailed inspection I can see nothing obviously wrong with HSU.

This HSU star is in the collection of a fellow forum member. Both the star and the certificate are completely original.

Hi everyone,

Thank you for your reply. Simply for curiosity, does anybody notice that there are at least three different styles of McDaniel's signature on the Historical Research certificate?

I'm sure that if you look at any random person's signature over an eight-year period you're going to see minor evolvement. It's perfectly natural. I wouldn't call these "styles".

My signature vary considerably, very much based on alcohol consumed.

I would risk it being the same person.

I don't know who owns this Gold Star, but it looks totally fine to me, as does the certificate. 

With as much stuff as I sign on a regular basis, from signing documents in my real job to autographing books, my signature varies throughout each day depending on my level of caffeine intake (let alone alcohol!) LOL

It's the crown jewel of my collection now.
