Copies?

[andya]

Would appreciate your views on this small set of pictures.
All are 7cm x 6.8cm and on Leonar paper.
I am far from an expert in this field but for some reason I do not like them.Under inspection they lack the sharpness you would normally see and the finish looks off? Like a cross between matt and gloss.
Other opinions would be appreciated
thank you

Those are tough call

I would say reprints of some kind.......

Fakes without doubts.

Could be spotted by:

- no contrast
- ribbed photo paper
- "specific" cutting

Here are two more fakes from this series:

Sorry forgot to ask-Could you elaborate on "ribbed photo paper"

Sorry, my English is not good.

Ribbed = corrugated, grooved, fluted, ribbed, wavy

Very specific photo paper, I've seen only fakes on it.

Not talking about the photos in this thread (they do look to be reproductions to me) , but very grainy photo paper did exist during the war.

I think these are copies from Kuhstorf/Hagenow.
