Blacklighted docs

[George Stimson]

How much should Third Reich documents be affected by a black light? I have about a dozen Urkunden and one promotion document. They are from various sources and I have little doubt about the authenticity of most of them. They all glow yellowish under a black light, except for two KM Urkunden that don't glow at all.

Yellowish may just be the reflection of the paper that was used. Bright electric blue--compare with a sheet of standard computer printer paper--is what you have to watch out for.

Bright electric blue? No, it's definitely not that.

Well, yellowish is normal
What I do - I put a white T-Shirt and a blank sheet of paper (actual) + the document . If you turn the blacklight on and that your doc react like one of the others ........... well, you know the answer.
Some reactions could be encountered but NEVER like the one with actual products (white T-shirt, sheet of paper).
Aso, when you have more docs ,it is always good to turn the black light on all of them - this is a good way to see that variations exist among original docs.
