I would really need to see super close ups of the printing technique to be sure, but even from here it doesn't give me the warm fuzzies.

It is in remarkable condition for not being framed. That is always a red flag for me on posters.

thanks for the answer ! Here a closeup - best i can du with my camera

can you shoot through a loupe?
need to see of there is a dot pattern..
also new paper will react to UV light, which is another tool in determening originality.

I am not the expert for these poster but normally I see some printing text somewhere on the bottom on original ones, like Berlin 42 ... and so on. Otherwise when this is an exeption with this poster I would say it is IMO impossible to judge paper age, printing from photos. Just my 5 cents.

Jerry, For my own info what do you mean by a dot pattern? Do you mean that a dot pattern is indicating an original type of printing or a repo? I have a bunch of old Nazi posters and although the paper looks old etc, I think it is difficult to tell without some paper expert. Mine all have lettering at the bottom but I assume a faker would just print off the repos with the original text. UV light would be some help I suppose. Your thoughts? David

The other thing I have been told is that most of the originals will have been folded at some point in their history just as a matter of course. If mine are original then I have a lot of fun ones but I bought them six or seven rears ago and paid not too much and have been skeptical but just didn't care. david

thanks for all answers. Here 2 shots through a loupe...

Sorry I think you got a reproduction. It looks like both top and bottom of the poster are cut off removing the the artists signature and the enlistment / printers information at the bottom.

thanks for the replys I think i´ll send it back....
