unsere Waffen SS postcards- fake series?

[o.r.k.]

more and more postcards of the series `unsere Waffen SS´ pop up with the shown backside (below). Note the runes that are very different to the usual postcards. Are these fakes?

Hi,

no they are 100% period originals, and the "Arial" V2 font type postcards are more rarer than the first batch.

The "Arial" V2 batch was maybe made in 1943 as per Feldpost postcards available.

Already discussed here :

PS : it doesn't imply that all "Unsere Waffen-SS" V1 and V2 are legit, copies are also circulating but usually it is easy to spot the light pink/flesh colour of original postcards.

Thanks Vince- I´m always impressed with the knowledge people like you have.
Have a nice weekend,

Hi,

thanks for your nice words Oliver.

With the help of McSeam i was able to update my "V2" listing to 22 confirmed postcards (on the 60).

See You
