Hi everyone -

Good original Adolf Galland photo?

Cheers Fabe

Hi Fabe,
That’s a very famous image of Galland in RAF Irvin leathers, as I am sure you know.
It may have been one of the many commercially available prints that serving military personnel could buy to embellish their own photo albums.

All the best,
Bob

For me honestly its a later reprint/ fake, it has huge contrast issues and the image quality when it has been reprinted has dropped.
I would not want it in my collection.

Thanks to everyone for the input - staying away from this one...

I saw the same in Budapest flea market.

It has either been artificially aged or else the reprinted has not been left to fix long enough, hence the yellowing. If the latter is true then it will fade over time if left in sunlight.

Avoid.
