The framing job is a very good way to tell the difference. Most of the prints I have found have been signed and dated in pen by Vladimir, so that's another good way to tell. I've never found one that has a shiny finish, that might be a good indication of a new print. If you could post a phtotograph, I might be able to help out a little more. I know TabooDan who lives up here has quite a good collection, he might also be able to help. The family is still selling vintage prints, by the way, so it isn't certain that an unsigned print in a modern frame is a copy.
