New KC photo.. good or bad?

[Sepp45]

Hi guys! What do you think with this photo I recently got? It has Afga markings on the back.

Any help, as always, is much appreciated.

Regards,
Sepp.

It's a typical fake with bogus Agfa Lupex stamps.

real Agfa markings

Are you sure? According to this reference site, the Afga markings are correct: http://www.kriegsberichter.de/Data/fake03e.htm

Could we get a second opinion here?

Same type as your fake is already discussed on this forum.
I'm afraid that your photo is definitely not original.

Well, I got an email from Emedals and they told me the photo is 100% original... I bought the item from them, and after all the searching made by myself and others, I can rely on the thought that this photo is original.

This was the link: http://www.emedals.com/collectors-ga...g7667?vmcchk=1

Since this is my first "online" purchase of an item, I was a little bit scared of the outcome, but many sources gave me the green light regarding the website.

I also don't want to make a fight with you Haruki, but I have to take the word from the guys at Emedals.

Thanks for the help, nevertheless.

Regards,
Agustin.

So the shop you bought this from states it is original? No big surprise there, of course they are going to say that. I've bought several photo groupings from Emedals, but that does not mean that every single item they have sold in the past, present and future is genuine.

For what it's worth, I agree with Haruki.

Jason.. I feel like I "want" to believe them, because I got good references from other WAF members about that website. Do you understand what I mean?

Sorry Sepp, but the photo is good known fake.

Old piece of s*it. VERY OLD. And people still buy this s*it & even don't want to believe to serious photo collectors! If you don't believe us - why you post this thread? Advice: stop believing to feedback about shops, study about photos & make a decision ONLY about photo itself.

Sepp, just FYI, all portraits above = F-A-K-E-S:

Rotyslav.. I've just getting started on the collecting world, and I made this thread to discuss a photo, nothing more. And I DO trust what other collectors give me as advice (which also included good references to the site Emedals).

All has been settled with the militaria site; and yes.. the photo is a fake.

I have nothing but words of gratitude to the people who come here and help.
