Oscar Will Venus-Waffenwek artwork?

[45flint]

Well it was $5 well spend on the UV flashlight. The Venus Waffenwerk label did not have any blue fluorescence. Tested it on some new copy paper I had and could clearly see the difference. Had just bought a 1934 catalog which was a good test, given it’s dated, and it had no fluorescence as well. So odds are, I guess, it is genuine.

It’s interesting how the image of this vary print has made the rounds. It has a noticeable little defect I can see so I know it’s the same one. Probably taken from a image used in a earlier auction. It’s in the Vintage Airgun Gallery and this site on German Hunting Guns.

Thanks for all the help. I am now better equipped to collect, this was all new to me, glad it ended happily.
