Third Reich Telegram; Authentic or No?

**DavidRF43** · 08-14-2023, 11:42 PM

Good afternoon guys!

I have a question I hope you can help me with; I have the possibility of picking up a 3rd Reich telegram from a collector I have purchased a few pieces from over the years, but as we know there are a lot of reproductions and fake items out there posing as legitimate, I was hoping someone here could tell me if this is legit or not.

I know little about papers from the time period, so do not know if the envelope or the telegram is legit; Please the photos of the front and back of the envelope as well as the contents of the telegram itself.

So...any feedback anyone can offer would be most appreciated.

Dave

It's a congratulatory telegram for a promotion...nice condition too!

So in your assessment, it's likely a legit telegram?

Seems like it would be an odd thing for someone to try and fake, but trying to do due diligence.

Weird thing. Can't say anything about the authenticity, but I can't see a 'Schmuckblatt-Telegramm'!

I see nothing wrong here...maybe the envelope is from a different telegram, but I don't know for sure...

A common paper item, not something worth faking...
