Post your SS-Poster

This the real one?

I know that this one has been copied quite a bit.

Did you sometimes show my new poster

Here is a pic of the bottom right side. Look okay?

They are poor photos, so I cannot immediately tell if it is one of the shiny ones (in other words a fake).

Looks promising, although I would not pull the trigger until you get better photos.

Judging by the new pics

I don't see any gloss with the flash. I welcome other's thoughts.

Thanks in advance.

That looks more promising from those pics...

I just drove by this adress (Jonckay, Pepinster) this afternoon... coincidence...
Of course that's not an authentification, not at all...
These Belgian post codes ('zip codes') were only established in 1969...
The fact that somebody wrote this code with a 'point' between the '4' and the '8' is typical for the first years these codes were used, and dates this adress to ca. 1970.
Of course this is not proof of a reproduction either...
Just an observation...
These posters turn up at almost every bigger militaria show in Belgium, I stay clear of them.

What poster are you referring to with a 'point' between the '4' and the '8'?

[Luciusdegeer]

Well, the back of the 'Wallonie' poster, with the adhesive tape.
Seems that the adress is written very large, upside down.
Could be a kind of property mark. There are still two people called Dohogne living in Pepinster nowadays (zip code 4860). Not a sign of a reproduction, like I said before.

[Luciusdegeer]

Actually the 'property sign' of the early 1970's could be a valid way of authentificating this poster. The reproductions are obviously of much later date.
By the way, can somebody else do the 'glossy or not'-test from these pictures?

Lucius

[Luciusdegeer]

This one does indeed look different from the ones you regularly see over here in Belgium...
Sorry, didn't want to 'infect' the discussion with my remark about the abundance of reproductions of this poster. I was NOT referring to this example.

He is talking about the information written on the back of the poster.

It is most definitely different to the glossy fakes that are more widely available.

Hi,

finally the real-fake document about the only color french SS postcard.
This postcard was done in various other languages, for the dutch, the belgian french, and german...



The quality of the fake postcard is just crap, this is like a light cardboard...

More later on the fake "Brigade d'Assaut" poster (yes all the "orange stripe / SS soldier with cap" posters with french text are fake - Nancy poster not checked yet).

See You

Vince
