Same here Paul, not sure why someone would go to the lengths to fake this one...but my only thought is that they may have made copies of the original post-war?? Just was an odd thing to see!

Has anyone ever seen a Death Card that was green in color?? I have seen many shapes, papers, sizes, etc....but never seen one on green paper before? Its very thin paper, doesn't smell new....but...

A warning though.......Ive seen a lot of very well made Postcard sized portraits being pawned off as period originals lately, more than ever before....so keep a keen eye out on Ebay and even well...

Hi Guys,
Very sorry for my absence and Im sure you've sorted everything out by now, but both photos shown on this page look period legit to my eyes.

Yup Evgeni is correct with the mass produced ones. They are period, but aren't "one of a kind", that's all.

Luca......those are fakes/modern copies.

Evgeni, those are hard to determine...

As of late, the photos & DC's meant to deceive us, are reaching a point to where we need to be on the very top of our game in order to acquire authentic period photos. I've noticed that Postcard...

I would agree Paul. The paper makes you think twice, but the image itself is undeniable.

I'd like to share another "new" FAKE that is appearing on Ebay.de that is guaranteed to fool new photo collectors!

The reverse is set up ALMOST like period AGFA postcard paper, but it is FAKE. I...

Inida, feel free to post any of them here (with reverse scans) just to double check. It can be hard to judge sometimes with just scans, but we have some knowledgeable people here that can give...

Absolutely right Mike. 99.9% of the time your gut is correct IMO! It certainly isn't getting any easier lately.....just another reason for us photo collectors to stick together and stay up on the...

Some photos from seller: Mister.Kite on Ebay have been popping up for sale that are digitally enhanced (photoshopped). Most are easy to spot, but the person faking these is pretty decent. This...

Here are some Known PERIOD photo trademarks which are normally found on Snapshot sized photos, that are not as routinely seen as "Agfa-Lupex" etc etc,
I'm providing these scans so people can match...

haha, I can see the resemblance....and yup I probably did

"P"

* Small "P" on middle-bottom
* Paper slightly larger than average PC Paper
* UV Neg
(that pencil writing is my handwriting)

This one is odd. I have seen this trademark numerous times, and they are always unreadable. I used to think they were Mimosa, but they are not IMO. I have studied them in hand and IMO, it is a...

This is a trademark usually seen in smaller sized 6x9 photos, but like others, they also can be seen on Postcard sized paper as well! While not really seldomly seen, I wanted to point that out.
