Authenticate document

[3mk]

Read German,
I remember seeing a document that was for killing flies or something alike because he wanted to see how many ``fools`` would fall for it,and he laughed about it,I think the thread was on this forum too.
I think the seller was the only fool

...If it is not to much trouble can someone give me a quick breakdown on telling fake from authenticate documents?

There is no quick breakdown. It takes years of experience and mistakes, sometimes costly mistakes! There are a few collectors about who are more experienced than dealers and auction houses, purely as a result of specialist knowledge gained over many years, and some frequent this and other forums. If you trawl through this and other forums, you will come across lengthy discussions over the authenticity of certain documents. That will give you an idea of the minefield that is document collecting. My advice would be to latch onto a proven collector who might be willing to guide you in your early days until you have gained a little knowledge.
All the best,
