This is one of the finest original Hitler autographs we have ever offered for sale in our many, many years as sellers of authentic Third Reich material.
The hand-signed Hitler autograph was done in soft lead pencil (a writing medium Hitler favored) in the 1 x 4 inch space provided for that purpose on this genuine negative-to-paper photographic print. The classic original Heinrich Hoffmann-made Adolf Hitler portrait postcard is number 37a in a size of 10.5 x 14.7 cm (4-1/8 x 5-7/8 inches). The back of the card is printed with a space for the postage stamp, Hoffmann's name and address and lines for an address if the postcard was to be sent by mail. There is no writing on the back.
Deckle edged Hoffmann 37a postcards like this one were offered for sale in the Heinrich Hoffmann catalogs of the era without the Hitler autograph for 30 Reichspfennigs (about 12 US cents), so anyone could have bought one in the hope of getting close enough to Hitler to have him sign it. It is also entirely likely that people on Hitler's immediate staff carried examples of the Hoffmann 37a postcard so that Hitler could autograph and present one if circumstances called for it.
We know that this specific card was signed by Hitler personally in April 1938 in Vienna and was only recently purchased from its original owner. It has never been in the hands of a militaria dealer, never offered on the internet, and never displayed a MAX Show or other militaria show. We obtained it recently within a mile of where Hitler originally signed it!
This postcard has a very bold Hitler autograph done with a soft pencil lead and is in excellent original condition,with only a bump to the lower right corner. It comes with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Third Reich experts and authors Ray & Josephine Cowdery, providing more background on their original purchase of the postcard.
