real or fake?
I saw this picture on Zib-militaria....and I'm wondering if it's really just a picture of reenactors.
My main concern is the stitching on the pistol holster, I've never seen it so white before in any original pictures. Even newly issued it was often darkened. Also the haircut on one seems not quite right, and the background is out of focus, almost looks like it's not the original background. (A parking may have been the original background )
Also, what type of field cap is the middle soldier wearing? What kind of camo is it?

So...Vincent is using falsified pictures to sell his products....or his google search for "original" pictures backfired

Look at the ghosting round the persons. That's an effect which is produced from going overboard with digital adjustments. This is a modern photo retouched.

Haha this is a compliment indeed! Think this was back in 2010 or something like that during a Bandenkampf event in Sweden.

defo reenactors, the quality of the edit is poor, you can see the photshopping standing out just from the bluring of the background alone, the fuzzyness is also a telling point, when compared to the orrigional I think I could have done a better job just using the edit tools on photobucket.
