Re: Assistance with Id'ing Fake Photographs
Hi Slados,
Im sorry for not replying sooner....I had not seen that there was a new post. My apologies. Like you know, my knowledge is limited when it comes to these types of photos as I'm not very familiar with all of the known AH propaganda images, which can help when trying to determine if its a copy or not.
I dont see any huge red flags other than the finger print you mention. I know it has a chance of happening when printing from a negative, but when I personally see stuff like that it always makes me wonder. With lack of shaprness/spots on the image, there is always a chance of a photo being copied without the negative too. Whether it was done period or not is obviosuly a very difficult thing to judge. If I personally had paid a decent amount of money for it, I would need to make a decision based on how I felt about the fingerprint/etc. Id also do my best to see if this was a known image, or a privately taken snapshot.
Maybe someone with knowledge of AH pics can chime in here....

Re: Assistance with Id'ing Fake Photographs
Slados i seem to have missed your photo as well for some reason , i don't collect TR Personality photos but wqould of thought there would be more interest in them, i suspect this one will be one where an in hand judgement will tell it's authenticity.
Bill i agree with you assessment the arrow has always been a negative point for me !!

Re: Assistance with Id'ing Fake Photographs
Paul good to hear you say that,
Over time Ive examined about a handful of those "arrow" ones. I saw one in a German Infanterie/family album, where the majority of the pics were printed post-war by my friends Grandfather's family. Which led me to believe that it could just be post-war paper. I still havent found a paper company to ID the arrow mark yet, but still searching through 1950's paper in particular.
Steve, I agree with you...its only going to get tougher as the years go on and the better fakes out there start to show age wear/etc. Plus the fakers are only going to get better at what they do as new technology comes out. BTW I like your EK photo!
