Thanks for the heads-up about this seller, Helmut and Wolfgang. I've heard about these reprints, but never seen one. How accurate are they? Apart from the signs you've already mentioned, is there any obvious difference when you look at them close up, for example print quality, paper type, size variation? As for kinoplakate.de, my German is a bit rusty, but is he really offering to fold up rolled posters to reduce postage costs??

I second that...The seller even took my image from an original German Bullitt from my site. On an original the title is red, on the reprint its brownish. The source for reprints of these two titles by the way is www.kinoplakate.de The black Apocalypse Now he lists as an 80s rerelease (after me and Helmut insisted some years ago that it's not original) which is still bullsh... as there was no rerelease with this image. Bullitt he lists as original - it's a reprint.

November 2012 17:14 An: [email protected] Betreff: [MOPO] Seller Warning: Fake german APOCALYPSE NOW on eBay This poster, currently listed as 'original german' by german eBay seller 'cinefrance' is definitely a fake: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apocalypse-Now-Brando-Coppola-Rare-C-Style-Orginal-M ovie-Poster-/330821023956?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d067838d4 I have probably handled more original copies of this poster than anybody else in the hobby, and EVERY single one of them had a small white printing defect near the bottom border. On the fake version, this defect is missing. (You can clearly see the defect on the high resolution images on the Heritage website, for example.) Upon request, the seller sent me an image of the actual poster, so there's no doubt about the matter. Also, I have strong reason to believe that the german BULLITT poster listed by the same seller is also a forgery. The seller is perfectly aware that he's selling forgeries, and I already contacted him about this matter, and asked him to cancel the listing, but to no avail.
