SS Polizei photo XL

[jwh44]

Hello
I have some troubles with this photo. it is XL size photo 15cmX23.5cm. The back is marked "Agfa Bovira". I think it is a large reprint from the original because the name of the photograph is embossed on the original photo and not on the reprint.
Do you think this reprint is from WWII period ?
Regards
Alain

I can't really say from only an image on this forum. The lack of a true physical imprint that you only see in the image is not positive. Here are two infos that I found to assist you.

"Agfa Brovira.may also be seen just as brovira.a lot of photos exist from the 50,s on agfa brovira paper from left over warstocks.Typical scenario,where the soldier takes snaps during war,and photos dont end up being deveoped till years later.Agfa brovira is still manufactured but is named agfa brovira speed.german produced."

The link provides images of Agfa-brovira watermarks.
