​​The first of my fakes and forgeries, The trial separations are hard to find and as it turns out, what I was so diligently collecting mostly or wholly turned out to be fakes in the eyes of "Bob"......They looked OK to me.

Quite disappointing to think there are rogues out there doing this sort of thing. This stamp was brought off the German ebay site, looked very genuine.

This stamp was brought off a South African Site, the stamps were on a very old stamp album page and had very old hinges, there was a group of about 10 stamp including SG4, SG6 to name a few, when I won this auction and paid the seller actually rang me to ask how I had seen the auction.

He was an extremely nice gentleman and told me they were from his grandfathers collection when he was a Insurance salesman in the US. I still struggle that this stamp has been forged, but you have to respect the experts opinion.

The 1/- Green SG104 or CP A6h (Z), printed by Davies on the large star watermarked paper.

This stamp was brought as an early trial seperation, roulette 7.
This stamp was sent to be expertisted and came back as a fake, some unscrupulous fraudster has added the seperations in the attempt to deceive the average collector and for financial gain.

​There seems to be trend here as you will see as I post more of my stamps that have been expertisted and confirmed in their opinions as being fakes and forgeries.
