The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )
1st July 1916
Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

I would personally save my money. The damaged one is so badly smudged as to make it worth very little. Nearly all of these pictures were 'signed' by automatic pencil or stamped, and of course, simply faked. The fact they're being sold on iOffer is also a massive red flag for me; but it's your money.

Ned is spot on. These are not original signatures. Also, for future reference, I would strongly advise against shopping on that website. It is well known for reproduction/fake items.

p.s. I should probably elaborate a little as to why I stated that I do not believe the authenticity of these examples. Basically, a thorough examination of any one of these pieces against known period examples shows the marked differences in style and character detail, despite the Fuhrer's signature changing quite radically during the 1933-1945 period, none of these match. I hope this explanation helps in some way.
