Shawn,
Your conclusions are close to mine (as far as I have some...).
* The signature seems (is ? Always prudent) very correct and the right one. They match.
* The signature is not done with the same ink as the rest of the document (as usual...). I would say : a positive sign...
So, I came to a very close conclusion to yours, the only logical explanation I have : Doc + medal probably awarded on the occasion of a visit in DDR, but no stamp handy, and you have told the story...
For many reasons, I do think it is a real one (I'm not concerned about it...) but would like to understand why there is no stamp...
I exclude the idea of a fake : it would be so easy to add a stamp whatever it is !!!
I will investigate further.
Shawn, many thanks for your help and positive contribution.
