Hi Streptile, that is one beauty!! -
And just to add some colour(Brown) Little Joseph Goebbels A bit of useless information, the photo was taken at 5 minutes past three, or 15 minutes past one,..I assume in the afternoon unless he suffered from insomnia

Hi Ed, I thought I'd have a quick go, image attached Alex

I like it! -
An original and VERY nice original early piece, later versions came with pebbled arms. My version, and this is early, (Replacement ribbon) is stamped "Hossaur" on the edge of the lower arm. regards
-
Once again some excellent images, However I admit I don't recognise the Scottish Tartan the Kriegsgefangene are wearing!! Maybe the colourist just made it up?? but I could be wrong regards

Hi Dante, these original colourisations are a treasure trove of information for people who take old B/W images and add hopefully lifelike colour to them, (Albeit in a modern way!) much of the information would otherwise be lost. a good thread. To The Prussian, (Andy) some really nice images you have. regards Alex

Hi Dante, glad you like them. I realise that your intention was most probably to have members post "original and period" colourisations, which they were, and am more than interested in seeing them. I also look forward to see what other members may have hidden away, as stupid as it sounds, seeing genuine period colourisations, in the end helps me to reproduce accurate images my way regards Alex
-
Well!!! Photoshop colourisations, a difficult one, does it matter that some were colourised nearly one hundred year ago or more recently a genuine question. Then they used paint, now we use more modern methods, the results then and now were to achieve the same result. I attach for you to decide. :) best regards Alex K If you feel they don't fit in with your thread, then I have no problem at all with them being removed

It all depends on what you mean by no cheating!! Regards Alex K

Spasm, & E Williams Hi Guys Glad you like it. I have many more to come, and hopefully other members may also wish to contribute. The more the better, regardless of experience. Alex K

Bundesrepublik West-Berlin Police Cap
Alex K replied to Red Eagle's topic in Germany: Post 1945: Bundesrepublik & DDR
Hi Gordon, I had several hats by the same maker in my collection once. Maybe it's just me but fat capcords epitomises the style of dress both before and during the time. They seem to send out a subliminal message! (Or I'm just being strange now??) Alex K -
Another small project I did for member Paul C (Paul Cheperko)on a project he is working on, with his permission I've posted. The colourised images were in fact very small, however, they have come out not too badly, (Well I think anyway!) regards Alex K

Hi, the sense of composition to even an experienced photographer is really quite amazing, it just captures the eye. You are quite right and should be very proud of your son, 7 years old!! amazing regards Alex K -
Wow very evocative image, a painful reminder of the true nature of war regards Alex K -
Blechley Park Code breakers
Alex K commented on Alex K's gallery image in Category 3: Medals & Awards
Oops there a few typos in there, it should read 30th October 1942. Tamwoth should read Tamworth -
Attached, an image of the George Cross awarded to Colin Grazier GC, on display at Bletchley Park England, former home of the WWII Enigma code breakers. The narrative reads (Top) " Able Seaman Colin Grazier GC who gave his life seizing vital enigma codes on October 1942" The lower reads "HMS Petard the ship on which Tamwoth war hero Colin Grazier changed the course of history" With possible apologies to Hollywood!!

Photo taken at Duxford England at the "Flying Legends" display, I have a passion for vintage aircraft, the background was extremely cluttered so I removed it! perhaps it doesn't count -
Hi Guys, thanks for the information, much appreciated regards Alex K
-
Hi All, Attached is a colourised image of a Danish SS Officer which I have done. Thought that it might have been Per Sorrensen, but I think I'm wrong it is not him. I am however convinced that he belonged to the Danish SS. Is anyone able to put a name to the face. Any info appreciated Alex K I would have posted where I normally post these things but suspect I may not get a reply.

Hi Chuck, thanks for the message, I tried but unfortunately maybe I'm stupid, but couldn't find a way to do it, maybe I've missed something, The image was quite literally sitting on the outside on a wall of a hotel, most may have missed it but being interested in military history I spotted it straight away, The flowers were also quite nice !!
