It looks good, may be too good...
I tend to think that this is a repro, but may be I'm wrong

I think it's postwar made photo.

Here you can see the wartime sign of "Argenta": http://www.kriegsberichter.de/Data/fake05e.htm

Here is the reverse of the photo that you shown (I give it more contrast to the sign of "Argenta" be more visible):

And here is the reverse of my POSTWAR photo of the RK winner Walter Wolfrum (UV test - POSITIVE) - the sign is the same (I also give it more contrast to the sign of "Argenta" be more visible):

BUT IT'S ONLY MY IMHO...

P.S. Obverse looks good for me... Really maybe postwar print from original negative... Quote from www.kriegsberichter.de: "Argenta was still producing after 1945 but disappeared in the 1950ties."

This photo has already appeared on this forum on the thread about German soldiers who look like celebrities (he was one of the most convincing... SS Hauptsturmführer Toby Maguire!). See here:
