How fake are these?

[EricFG]

These 3 paper items I finally received 6 weeks after I won them on eBay.
Considering the sellers track record (that I did not know about when I bid on them) I'm sure these are all totally fake-o-rama.
Anyone care to make a comment?

Here's item number one:

And here is #2

And the turd, I mean third.

On the first one with the pic it appears that the stamp is under the photo which likely means the photo is an add on. Not unusual since we know who the seller is

Brendanovsky,
First, I must say I was totally shocked to see these in the mailbox; thought they were gone gone gone.

As far as the stamp goes: holding it in my hand I can just barely, if I squint real hard, see just a bit of purple stamp ink on two of the borders of the photo. Maybe it's just wishful thinking.....

But yeah, considering who the turd, I mean seller was/is....

I have a street address in Kiev if you wanna meet me at the coffee shop around the corner there some day in the near future.

Eric, I also think the stamp is the same one with the weird tear drop that was on mine, and the stamp is fake.

Coffee in Kiev, hmmmm, sounds good

Dont feel bad Eric, check out my KGB doc posting awhile back with junior in the photo. Junior has been in numerous fake docs.

Eric,

I believe that the paper is original

Now, seriously, let's review each of them individually:
. 1st doc: the doc itself and the entries are genuine, I tend to think that the picture was added
. 2nd doc: now, that one is a strange bird. I believe that it is actually 2 documents (or rather part thereof) that got into some sort of Frankeinstein-ish union: a membership booklet of the Red Aid (the Soviet version of the Red Cross), and an ID of completion of military duty. Now, both are named to the same person, so it may be conceivable that the recipient "joined" them himself, for better and for worse...
. 3rd doc: that one is most likely original too - a certificate of completion of some sort of medical course, giving the person the qualification of "Health Feldsher" One strange thing about this one nevertheless is that the cover is printed in (possibly) Hungarian, and as such would definitely not be original to the inside pages, given that the school in question was in Sverdlovsk (today Ekaterinburg)
Oh, one last point, these documents were issued to 3 different persons.

Thank you very much Marc. Again.

I see now how the second book has been put together. There's actually a piece of writing paper folded up in it as well. When I get home from work I'll try and post a few better images.
Might be interesting if nothing else.

Here's a bit more of the second book. It seems this bit, on lined paper (or rather graph paper as it has vertical lines as well) has been lightly glued into the "Red Aid" cover. It's got a blurry stamp on it as well.
