Mark, to be honest.....there are some that WILL NOT glow. A reason why the blacklight test is only good as a "checking test", and if it does glow....then I wouldnt trust it. But if it doesnt glow, then you should still use other methods to determine a period printed photo.
If you take your fingertip to the corner of the photo paper and peel the first layer off..... that inside layer...will most likely glow. But the Ebay fake and SOME Russian fakes are made so that the front "layers" will not glow.
FAKE is word that isnt so easy when it comes to ww2 photos. The ones Ive posted are being sold as Period Printed photos, so in my book they are FAKE.
BUT, alot of soldiers took pictures during the war....but didnt develop the photos until they got home, sometimes years later. These are still ORIGINAL photos, but are obviously not period printed. So photos in that situation should have some type of provenance if you are going to buy them IMO.
I just did the black light test, they did not glow that much, but around the edges I could see a little maybe it was hard to tell, also the agfa lupex stamps on the ones I have which I think are 2 of them seem to be in perfect align with each other, so I just wanted to let you know, I might just try to return them unless you think they might have some value, he has more, and some are nice, but I don't know at this point

Cool pics Don! Congrats!
Ps-Mike, I stay away from photos sold by guys in Russia, because I've heard many are copies. Bill knows what he's talking about. It's lame that people have nothing better to do in their lives, but that's how some folks operate. It's like people faking id discs. Really? There are a few solid sellers on ebay that are legit and have great reputations. I try to stick with them.
