I always do it with the printscreen button.

Printscreen > paste it in a photo editing program (like paint or photoshop) > crop the image > save it.

here we go, thanks for the advice again:

Not a great picture but it looks like a post War piece based on the surface finish.

[joelhall]

thanks wasnt sure on this. it sort of matches some originals ive seen but i couldnt match it to any fakes.

cheers.

Some of the modern ones have a wash or something that makes the leaves and the lower areas of the flower black. They still make these and sell them in tourist shops. I do not think this one is WWII.

[joelhall]

ah ok thanks for the tip

I was thinking the same about this edelweiss. It looks like artificially aged and the backing wool's colour has nothing to do with original bottle green backing material.

And print screen is the method here as well.

It is the same finish as this one, they sell them in Southern Germany and Austria-

Are we sure its not just the poor quality of picture that makes it look dark. It doesnt look post war to me.
