I can't comment on the signatures authenticity, but the book looks excellent, yet another fantastic find for you Glenn!

Thank you, friend...but I haven't bought it -(yet?)- Hoping for more input from the Membership...
cheers, Glenn

Seems like you might need some kind of hand writing expert here for sure Glenn. May prove easier said than done but if authentic it may well be a collector's dream. Imagine the price is quite steep. Anyway good luck with your endeavor.

A very nice item and it matches Eicke's handwriting.... But are you certain that the dedication and signature are not printed?
Notice that this is not a personal dedication to an individual to whom a copy of the book was presented, but a text dedicating the book to the Totenkopfdivision members who died in the French campaign.
(I have a book on the Stahlhelmbund published on the occasion of its transformation into the NSDFBSt which has a printed dedication and signature by Franz Seldte, and it can be easily mistaken for being actually handwritten rather than a facsimile reproduction of handwriting.)

can't comment on the authenticity, but if the price is right, no matter if it's a post-war re-print, then it certainly looks like a nice volume to own

A very good point, thank you Andreas! I'll see if I can find another copy of this book to check for the same dedication...
cheers, Glenn

Eicke's original handwriting in the book you can get - it's too wonderful to be true.
It's definitely printed. I've googled and found at least 3 copies with this page.

Andreas is always right. The dedication is printed into the book, itself. It is not done by hand in each case.
I own a copy, as well.
