Well, I know there are other threads that have been started in the past about the originality of Wartime Photos. However, I frequently receieve PM’s asking for advice or assitance about how to ID a Fake or Post-war photo.
I figured it was time to make a thread that is informative by showing examples of known fake photographs/etc. I know this info may be obvious for some, but alot of our members need help in this area. Even frequent photo buyers still come across fakes once in a while!

BUT….mainly I started this so members can post photos that they have a question about originality on. So, if you are about to make a photo purchase, and want to get some friendly advice on originality….feel free to post em’ here so mistakes can be prevented.

***What to post (if possible):
- Reverse (whether marked or not)
- Obverse
- Edges/border (to see the cut of the photo paper )
