Hi Randy,
This is a wonderful series of 21 cards, but I am VERY SORRY to tell you that most of your cards look to be post-war reproductions. Do not feel bad, as all WWII postcard collectors have made this mistake on this series, before knowing what to look for....myself included. I was at a friends house this past Sunday, and sadly he had 3 from this series that were repros also.
The artist for this series was "Gottfried Klein" and a certain way to know immediately if you have a repro is to look for his name in one of the corners. The repro guys always cut off part of his name....and you will only see "Gottfried" , and not "Gottfried Klein". All genuine cards will have his complete name.
Also, genuine cards will have a silver "sheen" to the flag pole top and flag fringe....the repros will be flat in appearance.
Below are 2 scans for you to see examples of the genuine cards. This is a wonderful series, so don't give up. I hope this info will help you to identify fake ones in the future.
Best regards,
JohnAttached Files
