Description

Superbe group of 27 singles with very dangerous to crude surcharge forgeries (the bottom three 8's in the first page are on laid paper, never overprinted on said stamp). Second page shows a group of 15 inverted surcharges including two with original 1914 and 1938 Royal & British negative certificates. The two unused "2"'s are good forgeries and scarce. The third page with Sc 33 Rouletted, six stamps, three originals with forged roulette and three crude counterfeits. Then, a group of 22 stamps all with fantasy oveprints over rouletted or perf stamps, including a Sc 34 with the "5" hs used on Paraguay Lion handstamped issues (mae with a stolen cliche) Finally, a further Sc 31 with sideways ovpt and negaive certificate and three extras (at no cost) as follow, Sc 174 with punch holed filled (badly done) Sc 245 same as above Sc 204 punch holes filled and repaired but nicely done.Total 95 stamps.
