1 Russian archive fake.. 1 I am not so sure.. and 1 I think is good.. Opinions please

[BROBS]

Ok I have these three "questionable" photos that I acquired "who knows when" and from "who knows where".

The largest one of the tank I am sure is a Russian Archive fake.

The one with the Luft ground troops and stacked rifles is I believe a Russian Archive fake, but it's pretty sharp so I am not positive. The blurred edge on the one side says "fake/reprint" to me.

The smallest one seems pretty sharp and not on paper like most fakes. I believe this one is good, can anyone confirm?

These are the last "questionable" photos to be sorted out of my collection.. and I really want to use the smallest one in a display but if it's fake, it's out.

thanks!

I guess I will go off my instincts and call the small one good for now until someone says otherwise.

thanks!

The best thing to do ,is a reverse image search on tineye or google images.. Normally a fake will come up numerous times on those sites.

reverse image search??

ok.. none of them came up on that. but I am fairly sure the two larger are fake?

reverse image search??

Yes, You upload your photo to tineye or Google images and it searches the net for that same image.. If you find the image its a fake, as an original won't come us as its a one of a kind photo.... I won't say its absolutely 100% perfect, but its the best way to see if your photo is legit..

I wonder if they are all real photos and I'm being too critical? The large tank one really resembles a Russian fake though.

and thanks for mentioning the reverse image search.. not something I have used or something I would have thought to use.

I think they are all legit, the Russian fakes that I have seen have this faint yellow Hue to them.... The reverse image search helps me a lot!!! Ive save myself lots of money by doing the reverse search..
