Adolf Hitler Portrait/Photograph - Documents Included

[Von Ritt]

Evening Gentlemen,
1938 Bad Aibling. Have no experience with photographs or documents provided. Could really use some professional eyes to look and tell me if this is legit. At this time I have no proof the signature is real. Requested better pics of signature, hope to receive. IF real, I'd like to add to my collection. Details in the documents seem to provide the name of a photography studio in Munchen. Google searches came up empty for this portrait. Greatly appreciate your input.

Best Regards,
Von Ritt

Hi Von Ritt.

I can only add a small addition to what you have translated.

Von der Bäcker Innung
Bezirk Bad Aibling
Zum
Reichs Berufswett
1938
Heil Hitler

Obermeister


From the bakers guild
Bad Aibling district
To the
Reich's professional competition
1938
Hail Hitler

Chief master


I would say the signature is just the name of the subject and was written by the artist of the portrait. The reason I say this is because the signature looks like no example I have ever seen.

Thoughts on this Hitler signature

Could this portrait be an artist drawing? Edit: Did a search for drawing and found it. It's a lithograph.

Von Ritt, I think the signature below the drawing is the artist's. My take on the whole is that the Aibling District Bakers' Guild commissioned the drawing to have it entered in some sort of competition that was being run by the Reichsberufswett, which does translate as Reichs Professional Competition, but that is just a guess. It would make a nice addition to any collection. Dwight
