Golden Hochzeit

[Jock Auld]

Guys,

Not military but with President Hindenburgs autograph, printed or original, not sure but for €5 the whole thing with frame I don't care one way or the other.  You can see where I wiped away the layers of grime around the seal and autograph. My pictures are not the best but I love these pressed seals which you can not see here too clearly through the glass unfortunately.

Hello Jock.

Thank you for showing this.

I believe in some states making up the German Empire from 1871 to 1918 special decorations concerning the Golden Anniversaries were bestowed.

First time I see one over the signature of our then President, Generalfeldmarschall v. Hindenburg.

Bernhard H. Holst, born in 1931 while v.Hindenburg was president

Glad you like it Bernhard, I will clean it up and take a better picture when we get some sun again.  If one has made through 50 years of marrage I think a bravery award would be in order!

For the man or for his wife?

It is definitely a printed autograph.

My document, in not so good condition, came in a large mailing tube, dated 12. January 1931.
