Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:

The official Nazi certification of pure “aryan” German blood, or Abstammungsnachweis, was required of any citizen who wished to exercise his or her civil rights or join the Nazi Party. This one - number 92444 - bears the Eagle and Swastika seal. It certifies that Franz Gerstorfer is "Deutchbluttig (Arisch)" or of pure aryan German blood, and that he is not of Jewish or mixed Jewish (or "Mischling") ancestry.
