Reenactor?!

[Andrew Harris]

Hello, guys.

I need your opinions. Photos themselves are 100% fakes. IMO: 90% reenactor. What do you think about it?

Greetings, Rostyslav.

You mean reenactor or you mean that photos themselves are fakes?

I recall seeing a thread about photos being sold as original when, in fact, they were reenactors in B/W pics. I guess this is the same case.

I agree Rostyslav. Very good chance of being re-enactor, but surely 10000% fake

I know ZERO about period pictures. How do you guys tell these things? I would love to find out.

The description of reenactor is to much credit, dressing up and letting someone snapping photos of you is the case here.

I am not sure if these are the same guys that have produced the photos of a "German soldier" standing near a house that is falling apart(same trees could be identified in different photos) but it looks that way.
The ones i am referring to are discussed multiple times already on here.

This seller regularly sells (the same) dubious photos.
You can also see the same people on the photos which he sells .

So, reenactor.

And what about this one? It was sold for ~150 € on evilbay few days ago. Exotic photo paper: Agfa Portriga Rapid & big format. I'm confused because of "Kurland" armband...

Here is a link to a site about the Kurland band, perhaps this information can help you. Here you will see a number of photos of soldiers waering both bands (Africa and Kurland).

I had the feeling of a 60s portrait made by a "collector". Anyway, feelings or not, I would not touch this photo with a pole.

Posts #1 & #2 - with new material I assume that they are reenactors for sure! :~)
