<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 376568, member: 33&quot;]It&#039;s very likely that they <b>bought</b> the photos, especially the ones that have writing on the negatives. Most people don&#039;t have the equipment or skill to do that. And the blind stamp you showed looks like it says &quot;Jeanne d&#039;Arc&quot; (Joan of Arc) and some other words. It might be the stamp of a photography studio, as others have indicated.</p><p><br /></p><p>You will have to do research on your camera to see when it was manufactured and whether it technically could have taken the photos. As I said, the writing on the negatives has to have been done by a professional. Also, individuals visiting Europe generally wouldn&#039;t have a blind stamp written in French at their disposal.</p><p><br /></p><p>This Wikipedia article gives date ranges for some of the Graflex-branded cameras. See if yours is listed:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graflex" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graflex" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graflex</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
