Opinions on LW photo?

**CSW** · 10-15-2020, 10:45 PM

Hi guys!

Since I am admittedly still a complete beginner when it comes to collecting photographs, I wanted to ask if anyone could please confirm whether this is indeed a period 9x6cm Leonar photo. I see no obvious red flags myself.

All opinions are most welcome.

Thank you!

I see no problem with the photo. However lots of Leonar photo paper was printed on in the 50s and 60s as it was one of the most prolific paper makers after agfa. So these are almost impossible to date and their price is usually lower. However most are accepted as "original".

There isn't anything that screams of it being a copy. Obviously no idea when all the pencil annotations were added, but some clearly post 1945. Ju88 A4?

Thank you! I decided to also buy the other related photos the seller had - will post them asap. I believe the aircraft is a Ju 88 D-2, a reconnaissance variant of the A-5.
