Re: JG 53 Presentation Plaque

This is what I meant. It is still (to me as a German) uncertain as to who congratulates whom. There is no indicator for which ever version. Both are possible -if put in this way- and that is what is so strange. In formally correct German (this plaque is [for] a formal event) it is and should be specified what (exactly) is being meant.
Also, why is it only an unspecified promotion and not a promotion to a what ever rank? The more, if HG was the receiving person.
Another thing, plaques are (usually) given by superiors, peers and/or friends and (usually) not by (unpecified?) subordinates. But even if this was given by subordinates, there is still the problem with the typographical errors.

One thing that we have not even asked yet, are there any hallmarks and/ or maker's mark(-s) on this piece? Something like this should have that...
