In 1977 charges were again brought against two men in the West German Courts for distributing pamphlets charging that the diary was a hoax. The Bundeskriminalamt (The BKA, or Federal Crime Investigation Bureau) was asked to prepare a report as to whether the paper and writing material used in the diary were available between 1941 and 1944. The BKA report, which ran just 4 pages in length, did not deal with the authenticity of the diary itself. It found that the materials had all been manufactured prior to 1950-1951 and consequently could have been used by Anne. It also observed, almost parenthetically, that emendations had been made in ballpoint pen on loose pages found within the diary. The ink used to make them had only been on the market since 1951 [50]. (The BKA did not address itself to the substance of the emendations, nor did it publish any data explaining how it had reached this conclusion. When the editors of the critical edition of the diary asked for the data they were told by the BKA that they had none [51]).
Given the history of the editing of the diary it is not surprising that these kinds of corrections were made. This did not prevent Der Spiegel from publishing a sensationalistic article on the diary which began with the following boldface paragraph: "'The Diary of Anne Frank was edited at a later date. Further doubt is therefore cast on the authenticity of that document." The author of the article did not question whether these corrections had been substantive or grammatical, whether they had been incorporated into the printed text, or when they had been made. Nor did he refer to them as corrections as the BKA had. He referred to the possibility of an imposter at work and charged that the diary had been subject to countless "manipulations".
These sensationalistic observations notwithstanding, Der Spiegel dismissed the charge made by David Irving and other deniers that Levin wrote the diary as an "oft-repeated legend." It also stressed that those who wished to shed doubt on the diary were the same types who wished to end "gas chamber fraud." [52]
On Otto Frank's death in 1980, the diary was given to the Netherlands State Institute for War Documentation. By that time the attacks on it had become so frequent and vehement - though the charges that were made were all essentially the same - that the institute felt obliged to subject the diary, as well as the paper on which it was written, glue that bound it together, and ink to a myriad of scientific tests in order to determine whether they were authentic. They also tested postage stamps, postmarks, and censorship stamps on postcards, letters and greeting cards sent by Anne and her family during this period (in addition to the diary the institute examined twenty-two different documents containing writings by Anne and her family). Forensic science experts analyzed Anne's handwriting, paying particular attention to the two different scripts, and produced a 250-page highly technical report of their findings.
The reports found that the paper, glue, fibers in the binding, and ink were all in use in the 1940's. The ink contained iron, which was standard for ink used prior to 1950. (After that date ink with no, or a much lower, iron content was used.) The conclusions of the forensic experts were unequivocal: The diaries were written by one person during the period in question. The emendations were of a limited nature and varied from a single letter to three words. They did not in any way alter the meaning of the text when compared to the earlier version. [51] The institute determined that the different handwriting styles were indicative of normal development in a child and left no doubt that it was convinced that it had all been written in the same hand that wrote the letters and cards Anne had sent to classmates in previous years.
The final result of the institute's investigation was a 712 page critical edition of the diary containing the original version, Anne's edited copy, and the published version as well as the experts' findings.

Nothing about ball point pen on the page. Can't help but conclude Smokey has no evidence whatsoever that anything on this page is written in ball point pen.look at the corrections and alterations in another handwriting. Whose is it? Why were these corrections made?

So this teenager is upset that the mysterious “they” won’t let him examine non-existent documents? The tribulations caused by a lack of education are mighty.

So the kid defines his image as “edits” in “ballpoint pen”, but then notes that not only does he not actually know if it was ballpoint pen, he also asserts there is no source to document that what he defines as “edits” are actually edits.
Logic is not in the kid’s wheelhouse, is it?
