'ORDER OF THE GERMAN EAGLE' AWARD CERTIFICATE
Rare printed document, 1p. 9.5 x 13.75 in., an unissued award certificate for the Merit Cross of the Order of the German Eagle, Second Class, bearing the facsimile signature of Adolf Hitler at the conclusion with a blind-embossed national eagle within a wreath of oak leaves at lower left. This award, presented in six classes between 1937 and 1943 and in nine classes thereafter, was granted to foreigners, especially diplomats, who were considered to be sympathetic to Nazism. The medal is unfortunately not present. Slight fold at top-left corner, large spot of paper loss and wear at bottom, estimated accordingly. The certificate is housed in a cream presentation folder with a gilt national eagle embossed on the front cover.
