(3) is cancelled with a red "Waffen SS / Liebstandarte 'Adolf Hitler'" special cancel with Reich's Adler in the center and a 5.Aug.1944 date stamp below the cancel. I don't know if the cancel is legitimate or not as you can buy replica cancels on the internet for less than €20 which are almost identical.
