Stunning ϟϟ portrait

[Andrew Harris]

Hello, guys.

IMAO:

- photo itself is a fake from Bethge (specific "fake" cutting)
- guy on the photo is a reenactor

Here is the similar portrait that was sold on evilbay:

I need your opinions.

Greetings, Rostyslav.

Hi Rostyslav,
I have to agree with you here. I cant say for sure if he is a reenactor or not, but I do not like the photo itself. It has the contrast/etc that you see on duplicates/etc.
Unfortunately I was on the fence about the photo in the link too, but it seems that others might disagree. Either way, this ones not for me, and I think you brought up a good case with these ones.

I'm interested to see what others might think....

Almost looks like Ralph Feinnes from Schindler's list.

I don't like it. Not for me.

The Friedrich Kolb, Rossing - Leipzig and Gert Hartmann stamps are all well known forgeries... Also I do not believe that the photo was made during WWII.
