This is the V1 (Non-Arial font) version.

Thoughts appreciated!

Hi,

100% original.

Sent by a civilian (no Feldpost), unfortunately the stamp was removed but most collectors will not care.

See You

Thanks Vince!

I saw that you've collected quite a few of these. Have you seen this particular print before?

Hi,

you're welcome.

The 60 postcards of the V1 variation are of course confirmed, it also exist as V2 but for the Arial variation i'm waiting to "see" it for real to "confirm" it.

So yes this postcard is known.

See You

I have not seen the other version but if genuine, the font would not be Arial - it would likely be Monotype Grotesque. One is 1920's, the other is 1980's.

Hi,

Ludwig, i will suggest you to read the previous topic on the subject :

The term "Arial" is loosely used by me to describe the V2 variation font (the V1 variation is more like a "Times New Roman").

People better understand visually those two terms and their differences ("Arial" and "TNR") than giving the exact correct font's name that will not speak to anyone.

See You

Vince
