Fake? LOOK!, by sammyman on Jul 23, 2007 14:48:07 GMT 1, Is this a fake? Look at the POW stamp. Usually the embossing is not indented like this picture. All of the prints I have, the embossing comes outward... What do you all think? Is this legit?

Fake? LOOK!, by corblimeylimey on Jul 23, 2007 14:56:47 GMT 1, It looks alright to me, I think the light is coming from the bottom left hand side at about 45 degrees so the emboss is standing out.

I wouldn't worry. There's a lot of variation in the way the prints are stamped. The placement often varies between left and right in an edition and there are massive differences in how even the stamp is. Really depends on who at POW stamped the print and what mood they were in.
The stamp on my J&J is half off the page, which is also quite common. Stef often tried to avoid stamping on the printed area.

I said as long as you like the image, that is the most important thing (secretly thinking thank god that was not me!!)

Fake? LOOK!, by dave313perry on Jul 23, 2007 19:23:24 GMT 1, still looks like its concave from the front rather than convex - need to see in the flesh although from that pic i would say dodgy, others seem to think not so maybe im too cautious!

Fake? LOOK!, by sausageboonwee on Jul 23, 2007 19:37:38 GMT 1, Looks fine. I remember seeing a picture of footprints on the moon. However hard I looked they looked convex. Irritated me after a while so I stopped.

Looks fine to be honest, nice crisp stamp. Im sure you will find out when you see it that the stamp is convexed as normal.
Dont always believe what the camera tells you. I have taken pictures of POW blindstamps before and found the same phenomena. Weird..
