Hi,

Would appreciate your advice and feeling about this early SS ausweis...

Thanks,
Neil

Hi Neil, it looks OK, but better scans would confirm 100%. The only thing I would like to see clearer is the background print to the card.

Please take a look at the three from my collection which I posted on the forum.

Cheers, Ade.

Hi Ade,

You sure do have nice samples!
Will try getting better scans soon.

Thanks,
Neil

Thanks. I bought them at the right time, around 1990.

I am prety sure it is good. The embossed stamp is there etc. The only other point is that it is unsigned by the SS Standartenfuhrer.

Cheers, Ade.

I agree with you Ade

I think this one is ok. Pity it hasn't a uniform shot. They fetch some good money now, if they have

Not being signed would that be a problem?

**huddyhuddy** · 02-17-2011, 10:16 PM

Hi Tony, here is a closer scan of Himmler's signature from one of my cards. I can see why many would think they are actually signed. I must admit when I first saw these, I had to look twice.

I hope this one show up OK, but if you look closely at Himmler's signature and then the one below, of Heinz Roch, which is actually hand signed, you will notice that Himmler's appears much more solid overall in colour. Roch's can be seen to be a touch darker where the pen has gone over it twice, such as the top and bottom of some of the letters.

Cheers, Ade.
