III/JG53 Experte w ~43 Victory Bars?

Up for sale again!

I have noted that several photos lately have been sold, or at least up for sale, earlier. Not a very uncommon occurance with Lw photos at ebay, I would say.

Very true. I see, almost daily, photos that are 'rehashed' and being offered for sale again. Somebody must have found stacks of unused old wartime photo paper and prints repro photos on them. These are then sold as 'originals', for high amounts of money. I was tricked several times, too.
Sad, but it's reality. It's part of the learning curve...

Hi Dénes,

I think that's not completely true. In my opinion this photo is an
original wartime photo copy. We all know that some photos are
copied for complete companies of infantry for example because
all of them wanted to stick it in their personal photo album.
Please look at the well known Bf 109 of JG77 in Norway with the
skeleton emblem, it was in ebay for a dozen times. I owned 3 or 4
original wartime photo copies of this well known photo too.

Please have a look at this photo:

Ed listed more of this seller some days ago. I think that these photos
are modern reproduction photos on old photo paper of 1950s.

And please don't forget that masses of ebay members buy photos
to resell them again a little bid later. So you can see many photos
twice or more often.

Regards,
Sven.
