Buchanwald camp money

[Burkhard45]

Here is a 2 rm camp note. I have toe opportunity to obtain more of these if this one checks out. Opinions?

These are not genuine. One of the most commonly reproduced KZ currency related examples are the Buchenwald "Außenkommando" pieces, but this pattern have also been copied. All Buchenwald currency examples of the period were made using very low grade paper - today, we mostly find them quite fragile, such as the period piece shown below. The issue number (in blue, bottom corner), is incorrect, as is the printing format - look at the incorrect placement of "WERTMARKE". Also, consider the background pattern - this appears very washy, the originals were uniform.
