J. Schmid, Berchtesgaden

[GELIS44]

Are you familiar with this stamp? I'm assuming it translates " copies are forbidden". I have postcards produced by this studio and 3-4 private shots taken of Hitler. Wonder if they survived the war?

Thanks!

Today's company Verlag Plank in Berchtesgaden says they have Josef Schmid's glass plates, and Plank has published books of Schmid's historic photos of Berchtesgaden from time to time.

Apparently they still had a shop for some time after the war, if this paper sack is any indication...
