Kriegsmarine Admiral Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Hello, I am not an expert on signatures. I just bought this photo of Johannes Bachmann that has his signature. Can anyone confirm if the signature is genuine, and perhaps post other examples of his signature? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyC Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Hi, it says Zur Erinnerung und als Dank - Bachmann, Admiral. If it is an authentic signature I cannot say. GreyC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyC Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Glad I could help. Interesting that he wears the wound badge for the navy of WW1. GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyC It wasn't such an uncommom award among admirals. Here is the full photo. I am still waiting for it to arrive, so the best I can do is post this photo from the seller.

Kriegsmarine Admiral Posted January 10, 2023 Author Share Posted January 10, 2023 I found here https://gmic.co.uk/topic/57142-citations-marine-artillery-badge/#comment-666066 an example of Bachmann's fascimile stamped signature. Can anyone comment, when looking at this signature, if mine is the same and authentic? Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyC Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I´d say it is a bit different, but many signatures are not always looking the same. GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
