Fake Feldpost?

[crochunter]

I've heard a few places that a 0 on the day date of a feldpost would represent a fake. This one I got in a lot from a soldier who was station in France (with post number 30531). I was curious if this is true, and for that part is this letter a fake?

Probably. Like I said, before I found this website (not to slam any of the others), I kept seeing "If there is a zero in the day of the date on the feldpost it's an automatic fake" But as I explored feldposts especially from reputable dealers I kept seeing the 0 pop up.
