Bernd,
A beautiful document to be sure, sehr schön!
To me, a superior little piece of artwork, too.
The old German printing and graphic work is something to be admired.
Many thanks!
Bill

This is a very nice document first I have seen of this hunting exhibition, I like to collect medals awarded in these hunting exhibitions especially from the late Weimar and 3rd Reich. These documents make great wall displays,I'm sure it will look good on your wall.
Here's a nice diploma awarded by the ADJV in Hamburg.
Many Thanks for showing it.
Gary
