SS Document Stamp

[Paul D]

The dreadful one with the Deaths head seems to be the fakers new kid on the block at the moment !!

The first type has been around for a long time, with countless variations ranging from postal control stamps at the KLs, to Volkswagen factory office stamps. As has been stated above, they are all reproduction pieces, yet many still sell for high prices at shows and on internet sites. Poland is the source I believe, and when one is there, especially attending flea markets and the like, they are readily available. The second is another fake variant, although not nearly as common as the piece shown earlier. A thread exists within the paper items forum, that shows these common reproduction examples, with a few notes about how to spot them.

Not to mention that Kommando is misspelled "Komandos" on the first stamp...

Indeed. I have always found it remarkable how often fakers of documents and stamps do not even bother to get their spelling right and how many such fakes could actually be spotted simply by understanding the German language.

Now we can't have that Daniel, so hopefully an image or two or some authentic period examples, including a scarce SS Kama mountain division piece will lift your spirits a little...
