Lee Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Does the stamp mean anything? Or just fake? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Where the photo is undoubtedly old and original, I cannot say whether the stamp belongs here, it may have been stamped by someone later. This is also an early photo, as often seen in the front of MEIN KAMPF. Photographer was undoubtedly Heinrich Hoffmann. On the back is an official stamp of the quarters of the party leader in Schleswig-Holstein (whether fake or not?), I don't see why they should use their stamp for the back of a photo. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 Thank you... Do you think this photo was done pre WW2? Or during or even after? Or so.. Would you know the value of such photo? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 This looks like an old, original photo, of which millions were produced in their day, the vast majority was destroyed in 1945 with the "Entnazifierung" and the beginning of Allied occupation. Photos like this today are prohibited in Germany, Austria and France. I cannot say the exact value. I paid about 25 Euros for this postcard around 15 years ago, purchased from D.N., who is no longer in business, I am sure they would cost a bit more nowadays. Otherwise, I am not an "expert" on prices, better to do some research or ask people who are active in the trade. Saw this one for around 25 Euros A dealer is asking 50 Euro for this one! This one purchased many years ago, was a bit cheaper, there are still a few of them around. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caviggia Jean-Paul Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Hello ! Hard to tell by a webpic : if paper is old and photo "argentic" (sorry I am french and don't know english that well), photo will be good. For the stamp : it will not change value of the picture if there is one or not. As it is an official photo of the NSDAP it could be genuine. I have under frame an official copy of Benito mussolini and mates on the march on Rome : there is a stamp on it of the local Fascist group (in Switzerland, for italians living there). And.no doubt about it as I know from where it comes. What are dimensions of the pic ? If you want to sell it I may be interested. Regards from France !

Kenny Andrew Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Hello Jean-Paul, welcome to the forum and your advice regarding the stamp which I would concur with, just one other thing selling is only allowed on the classifieds forum if you are interested in an item please use the personal messenger to contact the member involved rather than on the actual forum thread. Thanks 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 What does this mean on the back of photos? Do any of you know? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Andrew Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 These are not photos but pictures from the Adolf Hitler Sammelbilder Album, these pictures would be added to the album to complete it. The pictures on their own are not worth very much we usually sell them for a couple of pounds. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 It was a mass produced image, but has photo qualities, and is probably "Fotodruck". 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Ein Bild vom Wahlkampf 1932 in Hessen - Bild Nr. 26 In diesem Werk gehören die 6 Bildergruppen 62-67 A picture of the election campaign 1932 in Hessen Picture no. 26 In this volume belong picture groups 62-67 As kenny stated, from the album The first photo shown could possibly be a real photo, produced as a postcard, as I mentioned before, on a mass scale The stamp on the back could mean that this one was distributed from Schleswig-Holstein. As Jean Paul mentions, "argentic", (fr.) argent (Ag) meaning silver - photos were on a silver bromide (AgBr) basis on prinicple of photolytische Zersetzung. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 Photos with the on the back Kenny.. Are they worth anything? This is on the back of a Himmler photo 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Andrew Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I don't think there would be much value in these items , they are basically just modern prints with no historical value. Nice they are from Brian's collection which adds a bit of interest but not much value I would have thought. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 Hey Kenny or Fritz would you say this is a real photo? Thanks guys much appreciated 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Andrew Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Same as the Himmler picture, you have to be very careful with these, they are even faking photos now, it does look very new from the back. If it came as part of a large group or album I would feel happier about it, but on it's own very hard to prove. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 This and the Himmler one came with over 100 others in a big group of photos. Ranging from Hitler and the inner circle to normal army personnel 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Andrew Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Have you seen the big group or just been told it was in a big group? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 No was just told they got purchased from one individual and was part of a collection for about 140 photos. So could be all crap but will never know. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 If it is real.. What would be the worth of these photos? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Andrew Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 probably about £20-£40 hard to say with a photo as they are all different so really just what someone is prepared to pay for it. A signed studio portrait would be allot more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 Found this online.. All the photos from this person did have these makers on the back... But I guess even that could be fake. But that's alot of time and effort Most – but not all – period photographic paper has a series of logos on its reverse side. Some well-known examples are Selo, Agfa-Lupex and Leonar, one of the most commonly used types of German photographic paper. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Andrew Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 If it was part of a large group, as I've already said, it should be fine. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
