Assistance with Id'ing Fake Photographs

[don_kihotis7]

Been studying some of the more Seldomly seen postcard papers lately. Here we will focus on the trademarks, sizes, and variety of the markings on the papers. All are period photos

* "HB" Postcard Paper *

* small HB mark on middle-bottom
* Paper is very slightly thicker than average for PCs
* Matte finish on front, with those slightly raised bumps all over the front
* UV Neg

Bro it's the doppelganger of Robert De Niro You posted it in the gigantic thread as well right?

Here are some Known PERIOD photo trademarks which are normally found on Snapshot sized photos, that are not as routinely seen as "Agfa-Lupex" etc etc,
I'm providing these scans so people can match them up, when in doubt about photos of their own.

* MIMOSA Sunotyp (note: Ive personally found these trademarks in 2 different size texts before, but only have 1 style to share right now):
