Looks fishy to me.

Notice the signature is in a different color than the rest.

Facsimile? Was it stamped on? Just throwing that out there.

appears to be blue and stamped...didn't Himmler almost always sign documents with green ink? cheers, Ryan

Ryan, Himmler signed letters/documents in blue and black as well as green.

Don't know whether it's stamped or in ink. Just have the photo. Looks like ink in the photo, but can't be sure. Stamped would make sense, in view of the different colors. It almost looks like it's in crayon or blue or green grease pencil.

Enlarged the photo and it appears to be a stamped signature. Thanks for the responses.

sig looks like his, ok to me,but it is a fasimile as stated,but why is another matter

I collect autographs when I can get ones that I have good reason to believe are genuine, but I am not "serious" autograph collector or expert by any means. It appears to me that most autograph collectors are not interested in the stamped signatures, which is natural since it really is not actually signed by the individual. However, it is still a genuine relic that came from his office and may have been handled by him. I have a Hitler thank you letter with a stamped signature, much more common than an actual autograph but still of great interest to me. Assuming this document is original with an original stamped Himmler signature, it is still a great item in my opinion. Different color ink merely indicates a different color ink. Not a serious problem to me, but I am NOT an expert by any means. Joe S

Compare the above example to a calling card that I have in my collection.

i think that card would be better in my hands next to the dedicated book you kindly sold me erich...............i love that card ,remind us what it reads please

Looking at the original snippet of document posted above, one can make out the word Jungmadelgruppe 7/82 with what appears to be a signature below it in the same ink. Now why would a signature of Himmler be applied to such a document, unless it was meant to deceive, hoping the buyer could not make out the text of the document.

Also, if you compare the writing example to my card it's not in the same style that Himmler wrote in.

Here's another, similar to the one originally piosted. It looks like a heavily inked stamp, or a heavily inked pen,if authentic.

Delicious Erich !
I've never seen one before
