Waffen SS panzer photo, opinions?

[Jan Heemels]

Hi guys,

Today bougth this nice small 7x7 cm photo of some STUG members from the Waffen SS. I'm not sure if this is a good one because these agfa pictures are almost always stamped on the backside with "Agfa-Brovira" or "Agfa-Lupex".
Please some opinions! Thanks!

Fake.

Fake.

Its a postwar-print (as already stated), not a fake. Big difference

Why do you think so? Because of postwar Agfa markings? It came from family? It was made for veteran from original negative?

Just for understanding - all photos with such cutting = fakes for me.

Maybe the best practical definition of 'fake' as often used on this board is "not what the seller represents it to be".

'Fake' definitely loses something in the translation to English language. I think what is intended to convey is more like the English word 'fraud'.

If the seller were to describe it as 'post-war print from original negative', then there is no fraud. But I suspect some folks here (at least the purists) might still refer to it as a fake, simply because the print was made post-war. In their definition, fake seems to equate to post-war.

I like images for the information they contain. Whether it's a post-war print or not makes no difference to me. In fact some recent prints (from original negatives) can be higher quality than ones produced during the 1930's or 1940's.
Of course in no way does that condone any lying by the seller about what is being offered. And a recent print (with the seller keeping the negative) should be priced accordingly, with full factual disclosure.

Okay guys, thanks for the responses! I had actually expected that this is a post-war picture I bought this picture together with 10 other Waffen SS (including LSSAH and more Panzer) pictures with exactly the same backside wit "Agfa" on it. Are these pictures printed just after the war?
Could someone tell me whether it is still worth something?

[Jan Heemels]

No one any idea?
